Before Jonathan Mostow attempted to break out with big sci-fi films like the much-maligned\u00a0Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines<\/a>\u00a0and the Bruce Willis movie\u00a0Surrogates, he made a humble little missing persons thriller with Kurt Russell called\u00a0Breakdown. The film\u2019s plot would involve one of the worst situations to have while traveling cross-country in the middle of nowhere and it is also one of our picks for the\u00a010 Best Kurt Russell Movies<\/a>. The paranoia film is an underrated gem that features one of the last great performances of the late J.T. Walsh.\u00a0Blu-ray.com<\/a>\u00a0has now reported that\u00a0Breakdown\u00a0will soon be getting a 4K physical media release from Paramount Home Media Distribution. <\/p>\n

Previously, it was reported last summer that the ultra-high-definition Blu-ray was to come out last October. It obviously hasn\u2019t yet, and Paramount has a seemingly more solid street date for December 30. <\/p>\n

The cast that rounds out the film includes Kathleen Quinlan, M.C. Gainey, and Jack Noseworthy. And the description reads,\u00a0\u201cAll roads lead to excitement with Kurt Russell in\u00a0reakdown, the non-stop thrill ride that\u2019s \u2018a movie of nerve-frying intensity\u2026Kurt Russell\u2019s best performance yet\u2019 (Rex Reed, New York Observer). Jeff Taylor (Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are headed toward a new life in California when their car\u2019s engine dies on a remote highway. Amy accepts a ride from a helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) while Jeff waits with the car. But when Jeff shows up at the agreed rendezvous, he finds his wife\u2019s not there. The locals aren\u2019t talking; the police aren\u2019t much help. With no one to turn to, Jeff battles his worst fears and begins a desperate, danger-ridden search to find Amy \u2013 before it\u2019s too late!\u201d<\/p>\n
