1992 is Ariel Vromen’s 2024 crime thriller, not the 1992 film Juice. Set during the Los Angeles uprising that followed the Rodney King verdict, it brings together a factory worker trying to reconnect with his son and a father-and-son duo planning a heist.
What is 1992 about?
Mercer, played by Tyrese Gibson, is trying to rebuild his life and repair his relationship with his son. At the same time, another father and son—played by Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood—plan to rob the factory where Mercer works. Their paths converge as unrest spreads across Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdict. Sony Pictures Australia describes the film as a tense crime thriller.
The story uses the uprising as its setting; that premise does not make the film a documentary or a comprehensive account of the events. Its central dramatic structure is a heist thriller built around two father-son relationships.

Sony Pictures Australia lists these cast members:
- Tyrese Gibson as Mercer
- Ray Liotta
- Scott Eastwood
- Dylan Arnold
- Clé Bennett

When was 1992 released?
Rotten Tomatoes lists the US theatrical release as August 30, 2024, and the streaming release as September 17, 2024. Those dates are historical release information, not confirmation that the film is currently available on a particular streaming service. Fandango also lists August 30, 2024 as the release date. Both Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango give the runtime as 1 hour 37 minutes; Rotten Tomatoes lists an R rating.
Is 1992 available on Blu-ray or DVD?
A home-media release report says Lionsgate announced a Blu-ray + DVD combo pack for November 5, 2024. That establishes that a disc product was announced, but not whether it is currently in stock or what region, edition details, or extras a retailer may offer. Check the listing and packaging details before buying.

How should you approach it as a viewer?
If you are choosing between a crime thriller and a history-focused account of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, note the distinction: the film’s documented premise centers on the heist and the intersecting family stories. The available film descriptions establish that setup, but do not provide a detailed assessment of its historical accuracy.
For clarity when searching, use the full title 1992 (2024): the bare year can also point to other films, including the separate 1992 release Juice.
