Get your home theaters ready for a brutal display of power because Dev Patel's Monkey Man is getting a Collector's Edition 4K Blu-ray release! The physical version of Patel's directorial debut hails from Universal Pictures UK, and it comes packed with extras to take you behind the action of one of this year's best films. The Collector's Edition enters the ring on June 8.

Monkey Man is an action thriller about one man's quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to victimize the poor and powerless systemically.

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city's sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

With thrilling fight and chase scenes, Dev Patel directed Monkey Man from his original story and screenplay with Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World).
