The Nicolas Cage-John Travolta action film comes loaded with special features.

The Big Picture Face/Off, John Woo's 1997 high-concept, high-octane action classic, is coming to 4K Blu-ray from Kino Lorber. The newly-remastered John Travolta/Nicolas Cage actioner will be released on disc December 12. The two-disc set will feature an all-new HDR/Dolby Vision master from a 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative, giving viewers their clearest view yet of the film's outrageous action and Travolta/Cage histrionics.

The release will include three commentary tracks; one with screenwriters Mike Werb and Michael Collery , one with Werb, Collery, and director Woo; and an all-new commentary from action movie historians Mike Leeder and Arne Venema. It will also feature seven deleted scenes with commentary from Werb, Collery, and Woo; a making-of documentary; a half-hour featurette on Woo's film career; and the film's original theatrical trailer.

What Is 'Face/Off'? In Face/Off, Cage plays mad-dog terrorist-for-hire Castor Troy, while Travolta portrays his nemesis, government agent Sean Archer...at least at the beginning of the movie. When Troy ends up in a coma, leaving the feds with no clue as to when his next terror attack will occur, Archer undergoes a high-tech surgery that gives him Troy's face, letting him infiltrate his gang.

Despite its outlandish plot and both lead actors going over the top and beyond, Face/Off was a hit with both critics and audiences, making nearly $250 million on an $80 million budget in the summer of 1997. Collider's Andrew Taylor deems it Woo's best American movie, and calls it "fun, stylish, and stupid in equal measure".

Kino Lorber's 2-disc Face/Off set will be released on December 12, and is now available for pre-order.
