Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is bringing “The Patriot” to home video in an exciting new limited edition steelbook. Originally released in 2000, “The Patriot” remains an absorbing and entertaining Revolutionary War epic directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Mel Gibson as conflicted veteran Benjamin Martin. It also features a great turn by a young Heath Ledger, the always dependable Tom Wilkinson, and a deliciously vile villain role for Jason Isaacs. “The Patriot” would go on to be a box office success and eventually earn three Academy Award nominations.

“The Patriot” will be available in this special 4K Ultra HD steelbook edition on June 9th. See below for a full synopsis of the film as well as release information including a list of special features.

In 1776 South Carolina, widower and legendary war hero Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) finds himself thrust into the midst of the American Revolutionary War as he helplessly watches his family torn apart by the savage forces of the British Redcoats. Unable to remain silent, he recruits a band of reluctant volunteers, including his idealistic patriot son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), to take up arms against the British. Fighting to protect his family’s freedom and his country’s independence, Martin discovers the pain of betrayal, the redemption of revenge and the passion of love.
