"LEGEND" Out from Universal Home Entertainment on March 29

A pair of ruthless upstarts, Reggie and Ronnie Kray, both played by Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury

Road, The Revenant) have the time of their lives, ruling over London in the middle of the Swinging '60s in Legend, available on DVD and Blu-ray on March 29, 2016 for public libraries, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

In an amazing double-barreled performance, Hardy is mesmerizing as the gangster twins, dominating the East End of London for years, until a police investigation, Ronnie's self-destructive tendencies, and the disintegration of Reggie's marriage threaten to destroy the empire they built. An edgy and action-packed true story, Legend on Blu-ray and DVD also comes with filmmaker commentary and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this instant classic.

From Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Man on Fire) comes the true story of London's most notorious gangsters, twins Reggie and Ronnie Kray (Tom Hardy, Mad Max: Fury Road). As the brothers rise through the criminal underworld, Ronnie advances the family business with violence and intimidation while Reggie struggles to go legitimate for local girl Frances Shea (Emily Browning, Sucker Punch). In and out of prison, Ronnie's unpredictable tendencies and the slow disintegration of Reggie's marriage threaten to bring the brothers' empire tumbling to the ground.


Emily Browning (Sucker Punch, Pompeii), Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Testament of Youth), Christopher Eccleston (Thor: The Dark World, The Others), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything, RED 2) and Chazz Palminteri (The Usual Suspects, A Bronx Tale) also star in the riveting true-crime drama based on The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins by John Pearson.
