Director Adrian Lyne’s electrifying classic “Flashdance” celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. To celebrate the milestone, Paramount Home Entertainment will release the film for the first time ever on 4K Ultra HD™ on April 11th.
Newly remastered and approved by Lyne, “Flashdance” looks and sounds incredible on 4K Ultra HD™. The new release also includes the remastered film on Blu-ray™, as well as access to a Digital copy of the film and legacy bonus content.
Originally released on April 15th, 1983, “Flashdance” was a massive hit—becoming the third highest-grossing film of the year in the U.S.—as well as a pop culture sensation. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards®, and Irene Cara won for her iconic song “Flashdance…What a Feeling.” Filled with music, drama, and dance, “Flashdance” remains an influential and wildly entertaining cultural touchstone.
Jennifer Beals stars as Alex — a fiercely determined 18-year-old with one all-consuming dream to study at the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Dance. Working during the day as a welder and at night as an exotic dancer, she bravely pursues her dream and undertakes an unforgettable journey that reveals the power of her convictions.
