Back in the '90s, Aeon Flux helped MTV establish itself as more than just a hub for music videos. The animated series became a cult-classic thanks to its groundbreaking animation and surreal sci-fi story. The show then saw a live-action film adaptation starring Charlize Theron in 2005. While the film doesn't quite match the bar of quality set by the animated series, Aeon Flux is still a rock-solid sci-fi movie--and for its upcoming 20th anniversary, it's finally coming to 4K Blu-ray with a new steelbook edition. Preorders for the Aeon Flux 20th Anniversary Steelbook Edition 4K Blu-ray are available for $34 ahead of its October 7 release.

Set in the distant future, Aeon Flux takes place in a world that is still reeling from a deadly virus that killed 99% percent of the human race. In the centuries since the outbreak, survivors established the walled city of Bregna, which is governed by congress of scientists led by Trevor Goodchild. A mysterious faction hires telepathic warrior Aeon Flux (Theron) to assassinate Goodchild. However, soon into her mission, Aeon finds herself investigating a tangled conspiracy hiding Bregna City's true nature.

Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection

As mentioned above, the live-action Aeon Flux movie pales in comparison to its animated source material--and if you want to check out the original series, you can grab the Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Series Collection Director's Cut on DVD for $13.51 (was $17) at Amazon.
