Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman star in Wolfgang Petersen’s (“Das Boot,” “In the Line of Fire”) gripping thriller about a steadfast U.S. President who has just told the world he will not negotiate with terrorists. Now, Russian neo-nationalists have hijacked Air Force One, and the President is faced with a nearly impossible decision: give in to terrorist demands or sacrifice not only the country’s dignity, but the lives of his wife and daughter.

The two-disc release not only features the beloved film in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos + 5.1 audio on a 4k Ultra HD disc, but also in high definition with 5.1 audio on a Blu-ray disc.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (Animation, Adventure, Comedy)

After a decade-long wait, DreamWorks Animation presents an all-new adventure in the “Shrek” universe with “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” now available on Digital, 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

In “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” everyone’s favorite leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline discovers that his passion for adventure and heroic missions have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star on his grandest quest yet. With only one life left, Puss is forced to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: Kitty Softpaws. They are joined in their journey by a chatty and cheerful mutt named Perrito. Together, the trio of heroes will need to stay one step ahead of the fairy tale realm’s craftiest crooks — including Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Nominated for Best Animated Film by both the Academy Awards and the BAFTA Film Awards, the Collector’s Edition of “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” features over an hour of bonus content, including the all-new exclusive animated short “The Trident” where Puss recalls one of his most daring deaths yet.
