Platoon 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Release Date and Details

March 23, 2011

Oliver Stone's Platoon turns 25 this year which has provided MGM Home Entertainment the perfect excuse to finally deliver the war epic on Blu-ray Disc. Not that Charlie Sheen's recently discovered mega-stardom hurts.

Today MGM officially announced that Platoon starring a much younger and saner Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, John C. McGinley, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Dillon, Keith David and Johnny Depp is coming to Blu-ray on May 24 in a DVD combo pack set. The video and audio have been remastered into a 1080p and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio presentation, respectively, so this should prove to be the definitive Platoon home video viewing experience.
