    When a top-secret B-3 Stealth Bomber, carrying two live nuclear missiles, crashes in the Utah desert, the Air Force moves in to recover their Broken Arrows—military code for a missing nuclear weapon. But the situation quickly escalates as they discover that one of the pilots (Travolta & Slater) is involved in a deadly extortion plot using the weapons, and the other is trying to recover them. Lots of high-flying action.

    Special features include several trailers and the D-Box® Motion Code option.

    The 2.32:1 Blu-ray Disc generally looks pallid and flat, with little dimensionality and colors that are not as vibrant as most high-definition releases. Details are not as well resolved as in the best releases either. Blacks are fairly deep, and details in the shadows are easy to see. (Danny Richelieu)

    The lossless DTS-HD™ Master Audio encoding improves upon a very involving mix by providing very good fidelity. Dynamic range is slightly lacking, with quiescent effects seemingly at too high of levels. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #130 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review contains the most comprehensive information available on new products, market trends, and emerging technologies. Your detailed analysis of display and recording technologies sets the standard by which other industry publications should be measured. I purchase millions of dollars of A/V gear yearly, and Widescreen Review helps me keep up-to-date and ensure that the technologies that I am purchasing will not be obsolete in a year. New product reviews in Widescreen Review are both accurate and honest. If a product performs poorly, I want to know about it. Unlike other trade publications that give glowing reviews on every product, Widescreen Review can be counted on for the real story.
