Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has just announced the upcoming release of Alpha, scheduling the inspirational journey on the origins of man’s best friend for release on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc in November.

An epic adventure set in the last Ice Age, Alpha tells a fascinating, visually stunning story that shines light on the origins of man’s best friend. While on his first hunt with his tribe’s most elite group, a young man is injured and must learn to survive alone in the wilderness. Reluctantly taming a lone wolf abandoned by its pack, the pair learn to rely on each other and become unlikely allies, enduring countless dangers and overwhelming odds in order to find their way home before winter arrives.

The impending winter season leads a fearful seventeen-year-old Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee) to accompany his father Tau (Jóhannes Hakur Jóhannesson) and other members of the Cro-Magnon tribe to go on their annual bison hunt, where fate leaves the young boy critically injured and alone. Survival instincts kick in as Keda discovers his way back home while also finding a new friend during his barbaric feat.
