Lock and load 90s film fans! Famous box office bomb & modern Cult Classic Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson takes a shot at 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with two SteelBooks from Turbine Medien. This world premiere release sports Dolby Vision HDR for the Theatrical Cut in 4K with the Unrated Cut on Blu-ray (with SD inserts) with new interviews and legacy bonus feature content. 

Honest talk now, what teenager coming of age in the '90s didn't try to slip this one past their parents at the video store? Hell, I had to "accidentally" order it on pay-per-view and clandestinely record it on VHS! All these years later this modern-day cult classic is storming the fiery beaches of 4K Ultra HD to expose a new generation of film fans to David Hogan's adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics character.

BARB WIRE is sexy and dangerous! And for the first time in Ultra HD!

After the Second American Civil War, chaos reigns. In the lawless, violent town of Steel Harbor, Amazonian bounty hunter Barb Wire runs the Hammerhead Bar - a pool for stranded existences. The ruthless Colonel Pryzer chases Barb's ex-lover and resistance fighter Axel Hood all the way to Steel Harbor. Barb is supposed to help him escape to the safety of Canada. When Pryzer devastates the bar and kills her blind brother, Barb goes into battle. She hasn't broken many men's hearts already... and the neck!

The action-packed sci-fi smash smash with Pamela Anderson as a hot avenging angel and Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett) in his first Hollywood role.
