ZERO DARK THIRTY is set to be released on March 19 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital, taking viewers inside the hubs of power and to the front lines of the historic pursuit and capture of Osama bin Laden, culminating in a special operations assault on a mysterious, suburban Pakistani compound.

Zero Dark Thirty is the story of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man. It follows the special operations forces mission to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. Directed and co-produced by Kathryn Bigelow with a screenplay by Mark Boal, both associated with The Hurt Locker, the film stars Oscar nominee Chastain, Chris Pratt, James Gandolfini, Joel Edgerton, Edgar Ramirez, and Mark Strong.

The film has been nominated for numerous awards, including five Academy Award nominations (Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Sound Editing) and four Golden Globe nominations (Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay and a Best Actress win for Chastain). It has been recognized as one of the best films of 2012, by the American Film Institute and Time Magazine, among others. In addition to garnering honors from the National Board of Review (Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress), the film also won three New York Film Critics Circle Awards (Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography) and a Critics' Choice Award (Best Actress), as well as a Screen Actors Guild nomination (Best Actress).

The Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD include four featurettes: "No Small Feat," "The Compound," "Targeting Jessica Chastain," and "Geared Up," which all provide an in-depth look at the filmmaking process, documenting the great lengths to which cast, crew and filmmakers went to portray the hunt for the world's most dangerous man.
