Ferris Buehler's Day Off

The beloved 1986 John Hughes comedy starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, and Alan Ruck will be dancing to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray + Digital release on August 1.

Matthew Broderick stars as the delightfully charming Ferris who, with his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and best bud Cameron (Alan Ruck), ditches school to enjoy one perfect day as a kid with no responsibilities. In 2014, FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF was added to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, which serves as a compendium of films that have been judged to be culturally, aesthetically or historically important.
