Kathryn Bigelow’s action classic POINT BREAK comes to the UK on 4K UHD for the first time 5 August from Icon.

 

From Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow, experience Point Break, the ultimate 90s cult classic, like never before as it returns to the UK for the first time in stunning 4K. i have seen Point Break dozens of times over the years (since its release) and never tire of its wonderful craziness and coolness. I have owned the VHS, and the DVD and am very excited about not only the fact its getting a 4K release, but also the special features. 
 
The two-disc 4K UHD special collector’s edition, packaged with a premium O-ring, contains the feature in 4K and Blu-ray, plus an exclusive, limited-edition poster and four art cards. Both this edition and a standalone Blu-ray release will include more than 45 minutes of bonus features.
 
Assigned to investigate a string of bank robberies conducted by the notorious masked group known as The Ex-Presidents, FBI agent Johnny Utah (played by Keanu Reeves) is transferred from the Midwest to Los Angeles, where sun and smog coexist with New Age music and 20th Century spirituality. He is partnered with Pappas (played by Gary Busey) and together they try to chase down these elusive bank robbers.
 
Johnny meets his match in Bodhi (played by Patrick Swayze), who shows the young agent a whole new way of looking at the world, and himself.
 
In an escalating series of explosive encounters, Johnny will learn the truth of Bodhi’s most important lesson: If you want the ultimate thrill, you must be prepared to pay the ultimate price.
 
The film will also be available to buy and rent on all major digital platforms 5 August, with 4K only on Sky and iTunes, as well as on DVD.
