Teaser trailer

Set in the future when Earth is completely covered in water and the human race is struggling to survive:

mankind’s one remaining hope for a better future is a drifter (Kevin Costner) who gets caught up in a battle between the evil Deacon (Dennis Hopper) and a child’s secret key to a wondrous place called “Dryland.” Featuring groundbreaking special effects, Waterworld is a visually stunning, futuristic thriller beyond your wildest imagination!

Prior to TITANIC, WATERWORLD was the most expensive movie ever produced at $175 million. Kevin Costner personally invested $22 million of his own money into the film, but then supposedly demanded the VFX crew hide his receding hairline digitally, which was not a cheap feat in 1995. Joss Whedon flew out to the set to do last minute rewrites on the script, and later described it as "seven weeks of hell".

WATERWORLD is directed by Kevin Reynolds from a screenplay written by Peter Rader and David Twohy. Kevin Costner, John Davis, Charles Gordon, and Lawrence Gordon produced. And thew flick starred Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tina Majorino, and Michael Jeter. It will be released on 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray and Digital) on July 9th.
