The Book of Eli Limited Edition 4K UHD — Arrow Video's Director-Approved Restoration, Pre-Orders Live!

Denzel Washington's post-apocalyptic epic just got the boutique 4K treatment it always deserved — and pre-orders are live.

The Book of Eli Limited Edition — 4K UHD from Arrow Video

Some films were made for 4K, and The Book of Eli is one of them. The Hughes Brothers' stark, dust-blasted western — Denzel Washington as a lone drifter guarding the last copy of a book that could restart civilisation, Gary Oldman chewing the scenery as the warlord who wants it — is coming to 4K UHD as an Arrow Video Limited Edition, and it is loaded.

A Brand New Restoration, Approved by the Director

Arrow Films has produced a brand new 4K restoration, approved by co-director Albert Hughes and director of photography Don Burgess, presented in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) with the original lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio. Eli's bleached, sun-scorched wasteland has never looked this detailed — this is the definitive way to own the film.

Why This One Belongs on the Shelf

The Book of Eli has only grown in reputation since 2010 — a thoughtful, brutal, beautifully shot post-apocalyptic western with two powerhouse performances at its centre. Arrow's new restoration, director-approved and stacked with new interviews, is the release fans have been waiting for. If your 4K shelf has a gap between the action and sci-fi sections, this fills it perfectly.
