Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence (Best Actress, Silver Linings Playbook, 2012) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy) are among the 5,000 passengers who decided to board the Avalon spaceship for a 120-year journey that offers them the opportunity to wake up in a new century, on a new planet. The trip takes a deadly turn when their hibernation pods mysteriously wake them 90 years before they reach their destination. As they try to unravel the mystery behind the malfunction, they discover that the ship itself is in grave danger. With the lives of 5,000 sleeping passengers at stake, only Jim and Aurora can save them all.
The 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and digital releases of Passengers bring fans all the behind-the-scenes action with three featurettes, plus "Outtakes from the Set." In "Casting the Passengers," the cast and filmmakers provide insight into the joys and challenges of populating a ship built for thousands, with four key players.
