“Hands of Stone” will be available on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday Nov. 22. The drama follows the life of Roberto Duran (Edgar Ramirez), the Panamanian boxer who made his professional debut in 1968 as a 16 year-old and retired in 2002 at the age of 50. In June 1980, Duran defeated Sugar Ray Leonard (played by musician/actor Usher Raymond) to capture the WBC welterweight title, but shocked the boxing world by returning to his corner in their November rematch, famously saying the words “no mas” (no more).

Special features include the featurette “Roberto Duran: A Boxing Legend, A Nation’s Pride,” deleted scenes and two video versions of the film’s title song, “Champions” lyric video featuring Usher and “Champions” lyric video featuring Ruben Blades. “Hands of Stone” is available for the suggested retail price of $34.99 and $29.98, respectively.

RLJ Entertainment is set to release the action-thriller “I.T.” on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday Nov. 22.  Written by Dan Kay (“Pay the Ghost”) and William Wisher, Jr. (“Terminator 2: Judgment Day”) and directed by John Moore (“Max Payne”), the film stars Pierce Brosnan (“The November Man,” the James Bond franchise), Anna Friel (“Pushing Daisies”), Stephanie Scott (“Insidious: Chapter 3”), James Frecheville (“Animal Kingdom”) and Austin Swift (“Live by Night”).  The Blu-ray will be available for a suggested retail price (SRP) of $29.97 and on DVD for an SRP of $29.96.

Brosnan stars as Mike Regan, a successful, self-made man who has it all: a gorgeous wife, a beautiful teenage daughter and a sleek, state-of-the-art “smart home.”  But he soon finds himself in a deadly, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse when his I.T. consultant (Frecheville) starts using his skills to stalk Mike’s daughter and endanger his family, his business and his life.  In a world where there is no privacy, and personal secrets can go viral by the click of a mouse, Mike needs to rely on his old connections to defeat a new kind of nemesis.

The “I.T.” Blu-ray and DVD take viewers behind the scenes with a making-of featurette. It also includes the theatrical trailer and a photo gallery.

The action-packed “Mechanic: Resurrection” will be available on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital), and On Demand Tuesday Nov. 22 from Lionsgate.
