Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that the 1993 Arnold Schwarzenegger fantasy action adventure Last Action Hero is set for a newly-remastered 4K Ultra HD release this May; check out the cover artwork and details below…
High-octane adventure movie LAST ACTION HERO, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator franchise, The Expendables), is available for the first time on 4K Ultra HD on May 17 courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Also starring Anthony Quinn (Zorba The Greek), Charles Dance (Gosford Park, TV’s “Game of Thrones”), F. Murray Abraham (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Amadeus) and Tom Noonan (TV’s “The Leftovers”), the LAST ACTION HERO follows young Danny Madigan (Austin O’Brien), a lonely 11-year-old boy who escapes from his bleak reality by watching the action adventure movies of his favorite film character, Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). When his best friend, Nick the projectionist, gives him a special ticket to the new Slater film, Danny is magically transported into Jack’s world, where the good guys always win. Danny becomes his helper as Jack battles a trio of nefarious bad guys, Benedict (Charles Dance), Vivaldi (Anthony Quinn) and The Ripper (Tom Noonan). But things get out of hand when Benedict steals Danny’s magic ticket stub and transports himself into the real world, where crime can, and often does, pay. Jack and Danny must leave fictional Los Angeles for real-life New York and battle the villains without the aid of movie magic or stuntmen.
