Lionsgate is set to release Arthur the King on Blu-ray + DVD + Digital combo pack on May 28. Digital will be available on April 23.

Arthur the King is based on the incredible true story of adventure racer Mikael Lindnord and the dog that changed Lindnord’s life called Arthur. The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Simu Liu and Ukai the dog, and the Blu-ray package include several supplements and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.

In ARTHUR THE KING, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur over the course of a grueling 10-day, 435-mile racecourse. An “inspiring story for the whole family” (Rachel Wagner, Rachel’s Reviews), and based on true events, ARTHUR THE KING follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. Pushing the team to the outer limits of endurance and sacrifice, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty, and friendship truly mean.
