Can you guess the killer before this deadly cruise comes to an end? You’ll have your chance to play detective soon. Death on the Nile sails onto digital, DVD, and Blu-Ray in the coming weeks.
Based on Agatha Christie’s 1937 novel, Death on the Nile is a daring mystery-thriller about the emotional chaos and deadly consequences triggered by obsessive love. Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. This dramatic tale features enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement.
The film boasts a star-studded cast, including the return of Kenneth Branagh as Detective Poirot. (Branagh previously played the character in 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express.) The film also stars Tom Bateman, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie; Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders, and Letitia Wright.
Death on the Nile arrives on digital March 29, and shortly after on 4K UHD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on April 5.
