THE CODE on DVD and Blu-ray »
(available Tuesday, June 23)

First Look Studios proudly announces the DVD and Blu-ray release of THE CODE (also known as Thick as Thieves). This exhilarating action film is from acclaimed director Mimi Leder (Deep Impact), and features an all-star cast led by Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas and Radha Mitchell.

Master thieves Ripley (Freeman) and Gabriel (Banderas) join forces to pull off a $40 million heist – but a monumental robbery like this is never easy and rarely without competition. THE CODE is a non-stop action film available on DVD and Blu-ray on June 23, 2009 at an SRP of $28.98 and $34.98, respectively.

While pulling a down-and-dirty jewelry heist on a subway train, Gabriel (Antonio Banderas) encounters Ripley (Morgan Freeman), a legendary thief who was casing the same job. In spite of Gabriel's initial reluctance, Ripley manages to rope him into an impossible job: the theft of two priceless Faberge Imperial Eggs from the heavily guarded vault of a New York diamond wholesaler.

The stakes rise for Gabriel and Ripley when Ripley's goddaughter (Rhada Mitchell) is kidnapped by the KGB. Staying one step ahead of the NYPD, the FBI, the diamond merchants and the vicious Russian KGB crime boss determined to have the priceless eggs for himself, Gabriel and Ripley must find a way to pull off the heist and make it out alive. THE CODE is full of deceit, thievery and twists at every turn.
