PRODUCT INFORMATION
ONE MAN FROM THE DEPTHS OF A GRITTY PRISON CELL HAD THE GUTS AND COURAGE TO CHANGE HIS LIFE AND LIVE HIS DREAM.
Lee Umstetter (Academy Award® nominee* Nick Nolte, 48 Hrs., Warrior) is serving "life without possibility" at San Quentin - a life sentence, with no possibility of parole. While other men might give up hope, Lee puts pen to paper and writes a play about living behind bars. Performed with his fellow inmates it causes a sensation, winning him the heart of a local drama critic (Rita Taggart, Mulholland Drive) - and a pardon. Now a free man, Lee reunites his prison buddies to perform the story of their lives across America. With the harsh and brutal reality of a criminal's life behind them, Umstetter and his troupe get a new chance to experience a world they never dreamed possible.
Nolte and a remarkable ensemble cast including Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters), Joe Mantegna (The Godfather Part III), William Forsythe (Raising Arizona), Anne Ramsey (The Goonies) and Mark Rolston (The Shawshank Redemption) along with Academy Award® nominated** co-writer and director John Hancock (Bang The Drum Slowly) make Weeds a compelling, stark and emotionally charged film.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
