James Cameron's 1989 film 'The Abyss' has been re-released in 4K, revealing new insights into the underwater filming process.

'The Abyss', along with Cameron's 'Aliens' and 'True Lies', are all available in 4K Ultra UHD for the first time ever on digital starting on Tuesday and on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc on March 12, 2024.
