Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced a trio of westerns including The Professionals, The Missing and Broken Trail will gallop onto Blu-ray Disc June 10.
The Professionals was originally pre-announced for Blu-ray over a year ago before it faded off Sony’s radar and into release date purgatory.
