Live fast and die young. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents the tragic love story between a flawed and fascinating punk rock icon and the American groupie who adored him when SID & NANCY: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION arrives on Blu-ray December 27.

Gary Oldman (Harry Potter franchise, The Dark Knight) and Chloe Webb (The Newton Boys) "execute performances that are nothing short of phenomenal" (Los Angeles Times) as Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his unforgettable junkie girlfriend, two social misfits who literally love each other to death. In this "riveting biography of burnt-out icons" (The Washington Post), visionary writer/director Alex Cox (Repo Man) creates "a great film" ("Siskel & Ebert") about the destructive lives of two 1970's punk legends. Their love affair is one of pure devotion. Sid falls hard for groupie Nancy Spungen, who seduces him with her affection and addiction to heroin. Their inseparable bond to each other and their drugs eventually corrodes the band, sending Sid and Nancy down a dark road of despair. Out of money, hope and options, the despondent pair hit rock bottom while living in squalor at New York's infamous Chelsea Hotel. But their journey takes yet another tragic turn as they face their final curtain and attempt to fulfill their destiny of going out in a blaze of glory!

Ranked as the #3 dramatic cult film at Amazon.com, the SID & NANCY: 25TH ANNIVERSARY Blu-ray will be available in the U.S. and Canada and includes two bonus featurettes. Prebook is November 30.
