Dark City Standard Edition 4K Ultra HD delivers Alex Proyas’s cult sci-fi landmark in a stunning new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative, approved by director of photography Dariusz Wolski. A haunting fusion of film noir, German expressionism, and philosophical science fiction, Dark City remains one of the most visually and thematically ambitious genre films of the 1990s.

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is—only to discover a murdered woman nearby and cryptic instructions to flee. As he pieces together fragments of a life he can’t remember, Murdoch is pursued by the police, a woman claiming to be his wife (Jennifer Connelly), and a group of eerie, pale figures who seem to manipulate reality itself. In a city where the sun never rises and identities shift overnight, Murdoch may be the only one who can break the cycle.

Featuring a powerhouse cast including Kiefer Sutherland, William Hurt, and Richard O’Brien, Dark City stands alongside Blade Runner and Metropolis as a visionary exploration of memory, control, and what it means to be human.
