Pre-Order the Space: 1999 Breakaway 4K Collectors Edition Steelbook Now

Blast off into the beginning of Moonbase Alpha's brilliant cosmic odyssey like never before! Our Space: 1999 Breakaway 4K Collectors Edition Steelbook is now available to pre-order from the Official Gerry Anderson store.

This fantastic limited edition release restores Space: 1999's classic opening episode, Breakaway, in stunning 4K ultra-high definition quality and 5.1 surround sound. For this celebratory release marking 50 years of Space: 1999, this brand new 4K edition of Breakaway has been restored through original film elements. This steelbook release also comes with the option of original mono or newly produced 5.1 sound mix and is region free.

Breakaway remains one of the most startlingly accomplished episodes of science fiction drama produced. Its turbulent production, characterised by a prolonged genesis that evolved out of a proposed second series of the preceding UFO and an expensive, overly long shooting schedule, belies its dramatic power and imaginative scope. The episode opens the frighteningly fantastic journey for Moonbase Alpha when the Moon's nuclear stockpile goes haywire, triggering a devastating explosion that rips the Moon from Earth's orbit.

Our Breakaway steelbook also comes with a variety of bonus features: Space: 1999: 50 Years Out of Orbit is a brand new 75-minute documentary featuring a line-up of celebrity fans, film-makers and more celebrating the continuing legacy of Space: 1999. Jon Culshaw, Jonathan Ross, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Nicola Bryant, Richard Holliss, Joe Kraemer John Logan, J. Michael Straczynski, plus Jamie and Dee Anderson. This enthusiastic uplifting of Space: 1999's enduring appeal is currently available to watch on ITVX.

The steelbook release also comes with audio commentary from Gerry Anderson, providing rare insight into the making of Breakaway, and a restoration featurette exploring the cutting edge process of the extensive restoration work undertaken for this release.

Celebrate Breakaway Day with this spectacular restoration of what many fans consider to be the definitive episode of Space: 1999! Be sure to check out the other releases in our Breakaway Day collection, including All Sections Alpha: The Making of Space: 1999, the 50th Anniversary Golden Eagle, and the Space: 1999 Annual Breakaway Audiobook!
