The 90s saw an ever-growing number of action-thrillers based around computers and the internet as more and more people connected to the information superhighway. Fresh from the success of The Matrix, legendary producer Joel Silver (Road House, The Invasion) would ride the wave of this global phenomenon into the next millennium with high concept hit Swordfish.

Former master hacker Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) is on parole after getting caught infiltrating an FBI program. Even so much as glancing at a computer could send him straight back to prison, but Stanley’s new offline life is interrupted when he’s approached by the mysterious Gabriel Shear (John Travolta), who offers him $10 million for one last hacking job. Unable to resist the lure of the computer screen, Stanley accepts and finds himself caught in the middle of a complex web of intrigue involving several covert agencies and a nine billion-dollar government slush fund.

Slick, stylish and action-packed, Swordfish is a nail-biting high-tech thriller from its explosive opening to its thrilling climax, with a great supporting cast including Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones.

Nice! This a definite buy for me, the opening scene alone is awesome.

[AnimalCMan]

Whaaa? I randomly had the urge to revisit this earlier in the week. I didn’t, but this was like perfect timing for an announcement.

[kristoffer]

I really wonder how this holds up.. I remember some parts and especially the opening bullet-time inspired sequence and that other sequence.

Probably the one movie that Skip Woods wrote that isn't utter trash. Day 1 for me.

Well, I'd argue that it's still trash. But, oh my, what glorious trash it is

Enjoyed watching it at the cinema (man, i'm getting old) and i'll enjoy the shit outta this UHD.

[TimmyWeiss]

Oh man. At this rate we will see Arrow release Bait and Eck vs Sever. All these early 00s WB z-grade action flicks

[slasherdisc]

Incredible news, love this one! Great Paul Oakenfold soundtrack

[CreasyBear]

Well, we've reached the bottom of the barrel.

[Guydowood]

Surprised this is not US as well as UK. Nonetheless day one!

[garyd97]

This should have gotten a box.

Sweet Jesus! Halle’s Berries in DolbyVision! Always loved this one, saw it theatrically, owned the dvd, blu, and now this! It’s about time!

Same

Never seen it, but that green snapper DVD case is ingrained in my memory.

[Quint van der Vaart]

I will get this but too bad Arrow didn’t go for an Atmos track as this would be an awesome sounding movie.
It isn’t a dealbreaker though…

This is the most mind boggling thing about this release. Most of the WB releases up to this point have seen an Atmos remix. If there’s one title out of any of the Arrow/WB releases that deserves Atmos, it’s this one.

Either way, I’ll be purchasing it.

[DR Herbert West]

I might get the standard edition.

[Adam_ME]

Another WB title from Arrow that come out between the early 90s and early 2000s. This had a great looking transfer dating back to its DVD release. It should look amazing in 4K.

It was an ok movie. The problem is the opening 8 minutes were so much better than what came after it.

What? It’s being released in USA, UK and Canada.

[lazerface]

Yeah this movie is so cringe, still would be interested to see how it looks in 4k, if it drops below $20 I might think about it
