Damien Chazelle's historical drama starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong is up for pre-order at Amazon.
As previously reported, Universal's First Man is now available for pre-orders on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray. The film will be released on home video on January 22
On the heels of their six-time Academy Award-winning smash, La La Land, Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for Universal Pictures’ First Man, the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong’s perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost—on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.
The releases will feature Dolby Atmos (with Dolby Vision/HDR10 on the 4K UHD) and supplements include:
