A live-action adaptation of Xbox’s most successful franchise, HALO: SEASON ONE arrives on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K UHD and limited-edition 4K UHD Steelbook on November 15!

HALO: SEASON ONE takes place in the universe that first came to be in 2001 through the launch of Xbox’s first “Halo” videogame. After years of human civil war and growing political unrest, mankind’s very future is threatened when our outermost colonies intrude upon the sacred worlds of an alien threat known as the Covenant. As this fanatical powerful alliance destroys world after human world, only one soldier slows their advance – a cybernetically enhanced “Spartan” supersoldier, the Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber, “American Gods” and “Orange is the New Black”). As the mystery of the Covenant’s true ambitions are revealed, the Master Chief must find a way to save humanity from the alien threat while also coming to terms with the secrets of his own enigmatic past.

With over five hours of special features, the epic DVD, Blu-ray, 4K UHD and limited-edition 4K UHD Steelbook collections include the following:
