Conan the Barbarian 4k UHD Blu-ray Limited Edition Arrow Video OOP Sold-out
This beautiful Original Art Limited Edition 4k set of Conan The Barbarian is without a doubt one of Arrow's best. This particular box set edition sold-out everywhere upon release. It's highly sought-after due to so many people loving the film and not caring too much for the sequel. There is a set collecting both films, but the art is kind of bland and nobody has ever known the Conan movies as "The Conan Chronicles". Many serious collectors and long-time fans of the original film will greatly prefer this Limited Edition with far superior original art slipcase over the 2-pack collection. There's also another gorgeous Original Art LE of Conan the Destroyer for people who enjoy both films but would like to keep them separated for display, shelving, or collectibilty reasons. This one is easily the rarest set of the three due to high demand though, so grab your copy now because prices will surely only go up as the remaining sets disappear.

Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's beloved pulp stories, and brought to the screen by maverick director John Milius, Conan the Barbarian is one of the most beloved fantasy-action adventures in Hollywood history, which not only popularized a new subgenre - the sword-and-sorcery film - but also made a cinematic icon of its star, former bodybuilding sensation Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In an ancient land, young Conan witnesses his family being slaughtered by an evil snake cult ransacking his village. Raised as a slave, the adult Conan (Schwarzenegger) rises up through the fighting pits, becoming an unparalleled and fearsome warrior. Unexpectedly freed, Conan and his companions - two fighters, Subotai (Gerry Lopez) and Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), as well as a Wizard (Mako) - are enlisted by King Osric (Max von Sydow) to free his daughter from the hypnotic clutches of the same cult that murdered Conan's family long ago, led by the shape-shifting sorcerer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones).
Praise Crom! At long last, Milius' glorious ode to the days of high adventure (co-written by Oliver Stone) has been restored in stunning 4K with hours of bonus features and a heart-racing Atmos remix that immerses you in the action, accompanied throughout by an electrifying, career-best score by the late Basil Poledouris (RoboCop). If you do not listen... then to hell with you!
