FOX announced today that The Wrestler, one of the most-critically acclaimed films of the year, featured on dozens of year-end “top ten” lists, will debut on Blu-ray Disc and DVD April 21.

Darren Aronofsky directs Mickey Rourke in a career-defining role as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, a veteran performer on the professional wrestling circuit who is desperate to hold on to the fame and glory that once surrounded him. Despite himself and the odds stacked against him, “The Ram” begins to evaluate his state of life, attempting to reconnect with his estranged daughter and striking up a relationship with an exotic dancer with troubles of her own. Bruised and battered both inside and outside the ring, Randy slowly tries to piece together the life he still has; but the thrill of the show and the passion for his art threatens to take it all away from him once again.

The Wrestler Blu-ray disc features exclusive bonus materials including “Within the Ring” featurette and The Wrestler music video written and performed by Bruce Springsteen. It is presented in widescreen format 2.35:1 aspect ratio with English 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio, English and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, English, French and Spanish subtitles along with Digital Copy.
