Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the thriller “Sleepers” with a new 4K release, now available to own on Digital and 4K UHD Blu-ray from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

Four ordinary boys. A harmless prank gone awry. Their childhood innocence forever shattered, they vow to avenge its loss in the haunting drama “Sleepers.” Sentenced to spend time at a reform school for their reckless behavior, four basically good boys from a bad neighborhood suffer a horrible fate while there. Forced to perform unspeakable acts by the very adults entrusted to watch over them, the young quartet barely survives the ordeal. A decade and a half later, nothing can erase the painful memories. But neighborhood justice, with a little support from a loyal priest, helps even the score.

Based on the book of the same name by Lorenzo Carcaterra, “Sleepers” features an all-star ensemble cast, including Academy Award winners Robert De Niro (“Raging Bull”), Dustin Hoffman (“Rain Man”) and Brad Pitt (“Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood”), along with Kevin Bacon (“Footloose”) and Jason Patric (“The Lost Boys”). The film was nominated for Best Original Dramatic Score at the 69th Academy Awards.

The newly remastered film includes new bonus content featuring Academy Award-winning director Barry Levinson (“Rain Man”) reflecting on the making of “Sleepers” 30 years later. Viewers can listen to Levinson discuss the inner workings of creating the film, from the production design to adopting the novel into a screenplay, in “The Making of ‘Sleepers:’ A Conversation with Barry Levinson,” and hear Levinson delve into the intricacies of crafting the movie’s roles in “‘Sleepers:’ The Art of Casting with Barry Levinson.”
