Nicolas Winding Refn’s gritty, synth-tinged thriller Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, is getting a stylish 4K Blu-ray release from Sony.
After beaching off Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and highlighting the hard work of stunt performers in David Leitch’s The Fall Guy, Sony is capitalizing on the “Gosling-ssance” with the release of his 2011 thriller Drive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. The brutal film from Nicolas Winding Refn drips with style, presents Gosling in one of his most iconic roles, and is due for a comeback in crisp, clean, high definition.
Here’s Sony‘s official synopsis for Drive:
Ryan Gosling stars as a Hollywood stunt driver for movies by day and moonlights as a wheelman for criminals by night. Though a loner by nature, “Driver” can’t help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband. After a heist goes wrong, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). Soon, he realizes the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash and is forced to shift gears and go on the offense.
Sony’s 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release for Drive has plenty of bonus materials under the hood, including an all-new Back in the Driver’s Seat Featurette.
