Subway

DEFINITIVE 4K EDITION OF LUC BESSON’S UNDERGROUND CLASSIC

Out on:4K 23rd June 2025

Experience Luc Besson’s ultra-cool cult classic SUBWAY, with this collectible 3-disc 4K UHD SteelBook releasing June 23, featuring brand new extras and striking new artwork by Flore Maquin who designed the stunning Leon and Nikita limited edition SteelBooks.

STUDIOCANAL and GAUMONT announce the definitive and strictly limited edition release of the iconic and irresistible crime thriller set on the Paris Métro, directed by Luc Besson (Nikita, The Fifth Element), starring Christopher Lambert (Highlander, Greystoke), Isabelle Adjani (Possession, The Driver), Jean-Hughes Anglade (Betty Blue, Nikita) and Jean Reno (Leon, Nikita).

The highly collectable SteelBook includes a 4K UHD presentation of the film, and comes with two additional Blu-ray discs and a host of brand new extras.

Besson’s second feature after The Last Battle, Subway is a vivid urban odyssey which helped to consolidate his growing reputation for unique, visually creative cinema. Nominated for a BAFTA for Best Foreign Language film, Subway thrust star Lambert into the spotlight, winning him a César Award for Best Actor. With a soundtrack from Éric Serra - who would become Besson’s regular collaborator - and dazzling cinematography by Carlo Varini (The Big Blue), this is a film that Eye For Film says showcases Besson’s “extraordinary visual talent”, that is “replete with images that will burn themselves into your brain”.

SYNOPSIS: After stealing sensitive documents from a mob boss, Fred (Christopher Lambert) takes refuge in the Paris Métro. Whilst hiding in this labyrinthine and surreal world beneath the city, Fred attempts to blackmail the mob boss’s wife, Héléna (Isabelle Adjani), into exchanging money for the documents. As Fred’s bond with Héléna deepens and as his life interweaves with the denizens living in the shadows, the police and the mob close in from all angles…

SUBWAY is available to buy on 4K UHD from 23rd June 2025 and available to pre-order.
