Sony's Panic Room from director David Fincher and starring an all-star cast including Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Dwight Yoakum, Jared Leto and Forest Whitaker will debut on 4K UHD on February 18. The release will also be a limited edition SteelBook.

The release will include a Dolby Vision HDR presentation supervised by David Fincher and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.

Trapped in their New York brownstone's panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter, Sarah (Kristen Stewart), play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders—Burnham (Forest Whitaker), Raoul (Dwight Yoakam) and Junior (Jared Leto)—during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.
