HOT 4K NEWS
JOHN SINGLETON was only 24 when he was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Writing for his landmark modern classic "Boyz N the Hood" (1991).
On February 4, 2020, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the modern classic on 4K Ultra HD physical disc.
It's the critically acclaimed coming-of-age story of growing up in a South Central Los Angeles neighborhood. It is a place where harmony co-exists with adversity, especially for three young men growing up there: Doughboy (Ice Cube), an unambitious drug dealer; his brother Ricky (Morris Chestnut), a college-bound teenage father; and Ricky's best friend Tre (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who aspires to a brighter future beyond "The Hood." In a world where a trip to the store can end in death, the friends have diverse reactions to their bleak surroundings. Tre's resolve is strengthened by a strong father (Larry Fishburne) who keeps him on the right track. But the lessons Tre learns are put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes close to home, and retaliation seems the only recourse.
