On May 19, 2026, Kino Lorber is releasing a Mark L. Lester (Commando, Showdown in Little Tokyo) Blu-ray double feature that includes 1999’s The Base and its 2000 sequel, The Base 2: Guilty as Charged.
The Base (1999) – When an officer is gunned down on the Camp Tillman Army base, the Pentagon sends in their top Army Intelligence man, John Murphy (Mark Dacascos, John Wick 3). Murphy discovers that a senior sergeant (John Abell, Rapid Assault) and his men are attempting to take over the drug business along the Mexico border. As Murphy delves deeper into the case, he walks a fine line of corruption—and ultimately pits himself against an entire army.
The Base 2: Guilty as Charged (2000) – Two dozen U.S. soldiers are missing without a trace and the President wants answers. It’s up to John Murphy (Antonio Sabàto Jr., High Voltage, The Big Hit) to find them. Murphy goes undercover to infiltrate an underground military court where those judged guilty are forced into a lethal sport of hunting—and they are the prey. It will take more than surviving the game to take down the court’s sadistic ringleader (James Remar, The Warriors).
Extras:
- NEW! Audio Commentary for The Base by Director Mark L. Lester and Actor Randy Gognata (Jack LaRue Jr.), Moderated by Dark Force Entertainment’s David DeFalco
