Captain George Cummings (Shepard) advises the Naval Air Force's three best pilots: Lt. Ben Gannon (Lucas), Kara Wade (Biel) and Henry Purcell (Foxx), that they'll be joined by a fourth wingman on their top-secret mission. When they meet their new partner "EDI," they discover that he's a fully-automated, pilotless Stealth fighter. It appears to do all that it's supposed to, but when lightning strikes everything changes. (Tricia Spears)

The only special feature is an introduction to Blu-Ray Disc with "Stealth" Director Rob Cohen.

The 2.38:1 MPEG-2-encoded Blu-ray Disc picture can look very good, with deep blacks and contrast, and incredible detail. Like most other Blu-ray Disc releases, however, the level of detail is variable throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

While fidelity is generally impressive in the linear PCM 5.1-channel soundtrack, the sonics do have an edge to them that takes away from the reality of the experience. This is an exciting, and system threatening loud, mix, and proper precautions should be taken to ensure that your loudspeakers do not get damaged. (Danny Richelieu)
