ARROW Video has announced plans to release Samuel L. Jackson classic Snakes on a Plane in 4K. The iconic blockbuster will release in new Limited Edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray box sets on January 19, 2026.
A viral sensation before it even finished shooting, Snakes on a Plane was one of the first major Hollywood films shaped as much by internet buzz as by studio edict. Stuntman-turned-director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2) delivers a delirious high-concept thriller, starring Samuel L. Jackson (Deep Blue Sea), that gleefully melds the disaster movie with creature-feature excess. Outrageous, shamelessly entertaining, and featuring one of the most quotable lines in cinema history, Snakes on a Plane is an instant cult classic that more than earns its reputation as one of Hollywood’s craziest action-disaster movies.
With a brand new director approved 4K restoration of the film by Arrow Films, a brand new commentary, interviews and a collectors’ booklet, this is a release you won’t want to hiss, erm, miss.
