Tomb Raider 2018 – take Lara Croft home on July 16th

Tomb Raider 2018 is coming to Blu-ray, DVD and download on July 16th, and it reboots the movie franchise with Ex Machina‘s Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, and if you enjoyed this in the cinema, it will also set you up for this year’s videogame, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider on September 14th.

The synopsis is as follows…

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone.

Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death. Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name Tomb Raider.

The extras on all physical formats are as follows, but note that the DVD only contains the first one, Tomb Raider: Uncovered:
