Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced that they will be releasing the sci-fi classic The Man Who Fell To Earth starring David Bowie exclusively at Best Buy in a special edition 4K UHD Blu-Ray SteelBook on April 25, 2023. The film also stars Candy Clark, Buck Henry, and Rip Torn.
Based on the 1963 novel by Paul Mayersberg and directed by sci-fi legend Nicolas Roeg, this impressionistic film offers contemporary audiences a timeless, poignant mirror in its exploration of the impact of capitalism and industrialization on the future of humanity and the planet. The film is newly restored for the first time in 4K Ultra HD with an array of great special features. Get more detail below!
Synopsis: Thomas Jerome Newton (David Bowie) is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth from a distant planet on a mission to take water back to his home planet in the midst of a catastrophic drought. Featuring a startling and era-defining lead performance from Bowie in his debut feature role, Nicolas Roeg’s iconic science-fiction odyssey ― stunningly restored and now available for the first time on 4K ― endures, not only as a bitingly caustic indictment of the modern world, but also as a poignant commentary on the loneliness of the outsider.
