Sony Sets Caught Stealing 4K Blu-ray Release — Here’s When You Can Own It

Missed Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing in theaters? It already hit digital, and now the physical release is locked in for fall. If you're a disc person (same), here's when you can put it on the shelf and what you're getting for your money.

Release date and formats

Sony is rolling out Caught Stealing on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray on November 11. Blu-ray.com surfaced the full breakdown, and yes, both editions land the same day.

The movie (and why there's a cat involved)

This one's a gritty late-summer crime caper with a stacked cast: Austin Butler, Regina King, Vincent D'Onofrio, Liev Schreiber, and Zoe Kravitz, plus Matt Smith popping in as a punk-rock neighbor who kicks off the chaos.

The setup: Butler plays Hank Thompson, a former high school baseball phenom whose playing days are over. Life's otherwise decent — a steady bartending gig at a New York dive, a great girlfriend (Kravitz), and his team making an underdog run. Then his neighbor Russ (Smith) asks him to watch his cat for a few days. That tiny favor drags Hank into a swarm of gangsters who all want a piece of him, and he has absolutely no clue why. Cue the sprint to stay alive long enough to figure out what he tripped over.

Aronofsky (an Oscar nominee) directs. The screenplay is by Charlie Huston, adapting his own novel. If that combo sounds like a little inside baseball, it is — and the movie leans into that scrappy, 90s-indie thriller vibe.

Specs and extras

• Dolby Vision HDR presentation
• Dolby Atmos audio
• 'Aronofsky: The Real Deal' — the director and author/screenwriter Charlie Huston dig into where this thing came from, how the book shifted to the screen, and the misdirection game they play with the audience
• 'Casting Criminals, Chaos, and a Cat' — Butler and the ensemble break down their characters and on-set mayhem
• 'New York Story' — the movie's love letter to NYC, from nosy neighbors to black-and-white cookies
• 'I Don't Drive' — a focus on Butler's very physical turn as a beat-up, scrambling ex-ballplayer (traffic runs, balcony hangs, the whole deal)
• Subtitles: English SDH, Spanish, French (main feature)

Early buzz worth noting

Over at JoBlo, Chris Bumbray was pretty high on it. His pull-quote nails the appeal:

"With a top-notch cast, some hard-hitting violence, and even a few solid laughs, Caught Stealing is a pleasant late-summer surprise I hope doesn’t get lost at the multiplex. This is a retro thriller that feels like a lost movie from Sundance 1998— in the best possible way. They don’t really make 'em like this anymore but I sure wish they did."

Bottom line: if you want Aronofsky doing a bruised, throwback NYC crime story — with Atmos thunder and Dolby Vision polish — mark November 11.
