The acclaimed, disturbing thriller JACOB'S LADDER - starring Tim Robbins, Danny Aiello, Ving Rhames and Elizabeth Peña - makes its worldwide UHD debut on October 13 as part of STUDIOCANAL’s Cult Classics range, with a superb brand new 4K restoration, in a highly collectable SteelBook, and features a brand new documentary. The film is also released on Blu-ray and Digital.

Directed by Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction) and written by Bruce Joel Rubin (who scripted the smash hit Ghost) JACOB'S LADDER, a powerful, visually striking thriller, stars Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption) as a Vietnam veteran wrestling with tragedy and troubled by hallucinations in New York City. Stunningly shot, and with an ominous score by Maurice Jarre (Witness), it's a moving, viscerally shocking and gripping character study featuring a tremendous central performance from the brilliant Robbins. The film also stars Danny Aiello (Moonstruck), Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction) and Elizabeth Pĕna (La Bamba).

Despite its modest reception upon release, JACOB’S LADDER’s fever dream narrative, nightmarish imagery, dread-laden atmosphere and incredible special effects have ensured that the legacy of Adrian Lyne’s psychological horror has far outgrown its initial impact. Described as “dark, fearful and terrifying” by Eye For Film, JACOB'S LADDER, a cross between Taxi Driver and The Twilight Zone, has proved highly influential since its initial release, inspiring the likes of Silent Hill, Se7en and Source Code - and once seen you won't forget it.

SYNOPSIS: After returning home from the Vietnam War, Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) is plagued by strange, fragmentary visions and increasingly bizarre hallucinations. As his sanity wanes and his world collapses around him, Singer desperately seeks out the truth behind his condition and what really happened to his unit in Vietnam.

JACOB'S LADDER is available to buy on 4K UHD SteelBook, Blu-ray and Digital from 13th October 2025 and available to pre-order.
