Director Paul Green Grass and Tom Hanks combined forces for one of the most exhilerating thrillers of the last decade in Captain Phillips. Based on a true story, the film was a respectable hit in theaters and was nominated for six Oscars (netting zero). Now over ten years alter, fans will be able to upgrade from their old Blu-ray with a new 4K UHD SteelBook 

When did Tom Hanks only start playing upright captains of transportation? First, we had Apollo 13, then came Captain Phillps, then Clint Eastwood's Sully and just a couple of years ago the WWII thriller Greyhound. Considering bad things happened each time, no one should take traveling with Tom Hanks lightly. You might just end up on a deserted island somewhere... 

Enough goofery, the big news of the morning is Captain Phillips is finally making an appearance on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos audio.
