Presented for the first time on Blu-ray Disc, G.I. JANE’s tale of grit and determination is more triumphant than ever in this astonishing format. Moore stars as trailblazer Lieutenant O’Neil, the first woman to earn a place in the elite Navy SEALs. “G.I. JANE’s” Blu-ray Disc bonus features include a movie showcase giving you instant access to the film’s most cinematic moments that highlight the ultimate in high definition picture and sound!
