4 Charlton Heston movies from the 1970s on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality.
dir. Jack Smight
When an in-flight collision incapacitates the pilots of an airplane bound for Los Angeles, stewardess Nancy Pryor is forced to take over the controls. From the ground, her boyfriend Alan Murdock, a retired test pilot, tries to talk her through piloting and landing the 747 aircraft. Worse yet, the anxious passengers — among which are a noisy nun and a cranky man — are aggravating the already tense atmosphere.

Universal's 2025 4K is Charlton Heston's disaster spectacle in native 4K with the original Sensurround low-frequency rumble preserved. Solid A-Tier video and audio but the disc ships barebones with zero extras. The John Williams score finally has the dynamic range to register. A US Steelbook variant is also out. The Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure are still missing in 4K.

Arrow's 4K Limited Edition ships July 27, 2026 with a new 4K restoration from the 35mm camera negative, Dolby Vision, and the MGM Tribute to Edward G. Robinson on disc. The collector's booklet has new writing and the slipcover artwork is reversible. The 1973 dystopia has never had a true 4K presentation, and the picture has carried for fifty years on a soft DVD master.
