OVERVIEW: The fate of the defendant lies within the truth in the gripping and illuminating story Marshall , coming to Digital on December 26, 2017 and Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on January 9, 2018, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. A thrilling whodunit, Marshall stars Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Josh Gad (Murder on the Orient Express), Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) and two-time Primetime Emmy award-winner Sterling K. Brown ("This Is Us") delivering what critics call "Oscar-worthy performances in one of the most important films of the year" (Rachel Smith, FOX). Fifty years after Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first African American Supreme Court Justice in 1967, this riveting and timely film invites audiences to discover an untold chapter of an inspirational figure who shaped modern American history and serves as a moving reminder of contemporary race relations.
