A Clockwork Orange makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD ahead of December’s 50th anniversary of the film’s 1971 theatrical release.

This is a film that is surprisingly still relevant even some 20 years into the 21st century. Obviously, the film features one of the most iconic lines in cinema history but that’s beside the point. You could still make this film today. There is a lot happening in the span of 94…
