Summit Entertainment, a Lionsgate company, has announced the Blu-ray release of director Peter Berg's Deepwater Horizon. Based on a true story, the harrowing action drama stars Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, John Malkovich, Dylan O'Brien, Kate Hudson and Gina Rodriguez, and arrives on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray combo pack on January 10th.
For the one hundred and twenty-six people aboard the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig, April 20, 2010, began like any normal day. Before day's end, the world would bear witness to one of the greatest man-made disasters in U.S. history. Deepwater Horizon reveals the brave acts of the men and women who rose to the challenge—and risked everything to lead others to safety.
The Deepwater Horizon 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray releases have over two hours of special features including an hour-long five-part series "Beyond the Horizon," - in which Mark Wahlberg and the cast meet the real-life heroes and discuss their experiences from Deepwater Horizon - three all-new featurettes looking at Peter Berg's directing of the film and the incredible work involved in bringing the Deepwater Horizon rig and explosive stunts to life, and behind-the-scenes footage of how some of the most difficult scenes were shot. These releases also include tributes to America's blue-collar workers in "Work Like an American," featuring profiles of a real-life Deepwater Horizon firefighter, an ironworker, a longshoreman and many more hardworking Americans.
Deepwater Horizon also features a Dolby Atmos soundtrack remixed specifically for the home theater environment to place and move audio anywhere in the room, including overhead.
