Following the one-two punch of Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon, director Paul W.S. Anderson would team up with iconic action star Kurt Russell (Escape from New York) and scriptwriter David Webb Peoples (Blade Runner) for the thrilling sci-fi adventure Soldier.
Sergeant Todd 3465 (Russell) is a veteran in a long line of soldiers raised from birth to become ruthless and remorseless killing machines. When the callous Colonel Mekum (Jason Isaacs) introduces a new line of stronger, genetically engineered fighters, Todd is judged obsolete and confined to the waste disposal planet Arcadia 234. Taken in by a group of humble colonists, Todd reconnects with his lost humanity, gaining their acceptance and their friendship. But when Mekum unleashes his new elite squad on the planet, led by the fearsome Caine 607 (Jason Scott Lee), Todd must reawaken the warrior within to protect his newfound community.
Packed with spectacular special effects and gripping action setpieces, Soldier is an underseen gem that demands rediscovery with this brand new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition.
