Corona | Coming Attractions

After racketing up $65 million dollars at the box office when it was released last month, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will release the Mark Wahlberg action-thriller Contraband on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on April 24, 2012.

Wahlberg stars as retired smuggler Chris Farraday and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) as his wife. Farraday gave up the criminal world when he got married and had kids, but now a drug kingpin (Giovanni Ribisi) is using Chris' love of his family to bring him back for one last major score. Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma) also co-stars.

Here's a list of all the bonus features included on the DVD and Blu-ray versions:
