From the Toy Robot press release:
November 10 is the worldwide 4K UHD premiere of
Above the Law, the cinematic debut of martial arts superstar
Steven Seagal (
Under Siege). In this sizzling action/thriller, the action hero brings his Aikido skills to the mean streets of Chicago. This second Dual Format release from Toy Robot Video features both a 4K UHD and Blu-ray disc, with the film presented on both discs in a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative approved by director
Andrew Davis (
The Fugitive, Under Siege), along with special features.
Nico Toscani (
Steven Seagal) is recruited by the CIA during the Vietnam War after mastering Aikido in Japan. He walks away from the agency and the war after sadistic operative Kurt Zagon (
Henry Silva,
Ocean’s 11) goes too far while interrogating a prisoner. Years later, Nico is a detective sergeant on the vice squad in his hometown of Chicago, cleaning up the Second City with his partner, Det. Delores “Jacks” Jackson (
Pam Grier,
Jackie Brown). A raid on a drug operation reveals something far more dangerous being smuggled into the community. An old CIA buddy warns him to drop the case and go into hiding with his wife (
Sharon Stone,
Basic Instinct) and baby, but Nico refuses to back down…because no one is above the law.
Special features include a new audio commentary with director
Andrew Davis and actress
Pam Grier,
Sounds of Seagal, a new interview with composer
David Michael Frank, an archival interview with
Steven Seagal during the promotion of
Above the Law, and the theatrical trailer, newly scanned in 2K from the interpositive.
