The release includes all 13 episodes plus the two-part pilot episode.

In Force: Five, available on Blu-ray Disc, a powerful and dangerous cult, hidden on a remote island fortress, has brainwashed the daughter of a U.S. senator. With local authorities powerless and time running out, the government turns to a highly specialized team of martial arts experts known as “Force: Five.” Led by seasoned agent Jim Martin, the team includes five elite fighters, each with unique combat skills — from unarmed street-fighting and karate to high-impact kickboxing. Their mission: infiltrate the island compound, uncover the secrets of the cult’s charismatic and manipulative leader, and rescue the senator’s daughter before she becomes permanently indoctrinated — or worse. From writer-director Robert Clouse, the auteur of Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon and Jackie Chan’s The Big Brawl, the film features a diverse cast of martial arts legends, including Joe Lewis (Bloodfight 2: The Deathcage), Bong Soo Han (Kill the Golden Goose), Sonny Barnes (Black Belt Jones), Benny “The Jet” Urquidez (Dragons Forever) and Richard Norton (Mad Max: Fury Road), as well as Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street). Bonus materials include an archival interview with actor Joe Lewis; an archival interview with Benny Urquidez; an archival “Benny Urquidez Fight” featurette; the original theatrical trailer; a collectible mini-poster; and a limited edition slipcover.
