Anderson teamed up with iconic action star Kurt Russell and writer David Webb Peoples (Blade Runner, Unforgiven) for the thrilling sci-fi adventure. Unfortunately it was a huge box office bomb. Oh well. A soldier trained from birth is deemed obsolete and dumped on a waste planet where he is reluctantly taken in by a community of defenseless, stranded wayfarers. Russell stars with Connie Nielsen, Jason Scott Lee, Michael Chiklis, & Jason Isaacs. Arrow’s intro: “packed with spectacular special effects & gripping action setpieces, Soldier is an underseen gem that demands rediscovery with this brand new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition.” Yep!
