EXPERIENCE THE 4K REMASTER FOR THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY AND MAY THE FOURTH!

Experience the heroic action and unforgettable adventures of STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999) and see the first fateful steps in the journey of Anakin Skywalker for a special May the Fourth session.

Stranded on the desert planet Tatooine after rescuing young Queen Amidala from the impending invasion of Naboo, Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn discover nine-year-old Anakin, a young slave unusually strong in the Force. Anakin wins a thrilling Podrace — and with it his freedom as he leaves his home to be trained as a Jedi.

The heroes return to Naboo, where Anakin and the Queen face massive invasion forces, while the two Jedi contend with the deadly foe Darth Maul. Only then do they realize the invasion is merely the first step in a sinister scheme by the reemergent forces of darkness known as the Sith.
