Stand and Deliver (BLU-RAY)

US Import

One of the most important films of the late 1980s comes to Blu-ray with a fresh new HD master derived from a new 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative. Stand and Deliver lived up to its title when first released in 1988. This moving, acclaimed crowd-pleaser is the dynamic saga of real-life heroes determined to conquer a foe few people dare confront: the National Advanced Placement Calculus Exam. The outstanding Edward James Olmos earned a 1988 Best Actor Academy Award™ nomination for his performance filled with fire and grit as Jamie Escalante, an East L.A. math teacher who refuses to write off his inner-city students as losers. Escalante cajoles, pushes, threatens and inspires 18 students who were struggling with fractions to become math whizzes. Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Longmire) and Andy Garcia co-star in this timeless and true-life story about the real Escalante and his unconventional methods to inspire his students to greatness.
