Debuting to a sold-out crowd this October at Beyond Fest 2026, fans can bring home the action with this five-disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray set, available December 15, 2026 from Radial Entertainment.

This dazzling, definitive edition uses elements from both the original theatrical master and Mann’s first Director’s Cut along with new, previously unused dailies footage, with fine details adjusted scene by scene to help ensure the new cut looks and sounds better than ever. Fans will also notice changes to the story, with select scenes being refined, a re-ordering of certain scenes, and updated with a significantly recut ending incorporating previously unused footage to reflect Mann’s preferred ending.

A case involving drug lords and murder in South Florida takes a personal turn for undercover detectives Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx).
