Blow Out 4K UHD + Blu-ray

'Blow Out' Director: Brian De Palma (1981) Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray

John Travolta gives one of his greatest performances as a film sound-effects man who believes he has accidentally recorded a political assassination. To uncover the truth, he enlists the help of a possible eyewitness to the crime, who may be in danger herself.

With its jolting stylistic flourishes, intricate plot, profoundly felt characterizations, and gritty evocation of early-1980s Philadelphia, Blow Out is an American paranoia thriller unlike any other, as well as a devilish reflection on moviemaking.

Special features include:
- Interview with director Brian De Palma, conducted by filmmaker Noah Baumbach
- Interview with actor Nancy Allen
- Murder à la Mod, a 1967 feature by De Palma
- Interview with cameraman Garrett Brown on the Steadicam shots featured in the film within Blow Out
- Essay by critic Michael Sragow and Pauline Kael’s original New Yorker review of the film
