The Chronicles Of Riddick 4K Ultra HD

Following the sleeper success of Pitch Black, writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel reunited for the action-packed The Chronicles of Riddick, an expansive sequel that takes its eponymous antihero to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Riddick is an intergalactic fugitive whose dark past catches up with him when he is lured out of hiding by Imam, another survivor of the planet of horrors they barely escaped from five years earlier.

Now out of the shadows, Riddick is identified by an ethereal emissary as the descendant of an ancient race of warriors who may be the universe's last hope against the Necromongers, an evil army of fanatics. As enemies close in, Riddick becomes a reluctant saviour of the cosmos with only his wits and killer instinct standing between survival and annihilation.
