‘Apocalypse Now: Final Cut’ Now Out On Steelbook

Over the past few months, Lionsgate has released a series of fantastic films on Steelbooks, sold exclusively at Best Buy, including 3 From Hell. The latest to be released is the brilliant film Apocalypse Now: Final Cut in 4K Ultra.

Cue: Star Trek theatrics, lazer antics, and searing pain… After all of that glorious nonsense, our heroes find
