Disc Specs

4K Ultra HD disc (UHD)

Resolution: 2160p Ultra High Definition

Video Quality

The 4K presentation offers a dramatic improvement in realism and tone. HDR deepens the contrast between the dim, Depression-era settings and the bright lights of the boxing ring. Fine detail in sweat, clothing texture, and period props is outstanding. Colors are rich but natural, avoiding oversaturation. The film grain is preserved beautifully, giving the image a cinematic texture that matches Ron Howard’s original vision.


Audio Quality

The new Dolby Atmos mix brings depth and power to every punch. Crowd noise, ring echoes, and subtle ambient effects expand throughout the room while dialogue remains crisp and well-centered. The 5.1 mix offers solid dynamic range for setups without height channels, and the stereo track maintains fidelity to the original mix. The score by Thomas Newman shines with warmth and presence.

Featurette: The Fight Card: Casting Cinderella Man
