Hailed as ‘the last great film of the Nineties’ by The Guardian, this 1999 cult classic of the Cool Cymru era has been newly restored in 4K and is released by the BFI in both UHD and Blu-ray formats on 21 July following its release in selected cinemas from 16 July 2025. Starring John Simm and boasting Danny Dyer in his full-on feature debut, Human Traffic is an unapologetic celebration of club culture and youthful hedonism, with a soundtrack featuring Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox and Orbital. The weekend has landed.

Special features include a new audio commentary and filmed celebratory appraisal by critic Mark Searby, and a new filmed interview with executive producer Renata S Aly who looks back on the making of Human Traffic.

Looking for an escape from boring 9 to 5 jobs, bad relationships and dysfunctional families, five Cardiff friends plan a night out to remember, where all that exists are clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. Journey with them through the highs and lows of the weekend, substance-induced and otherwise, for wild escapades and unexpected epiphanies.

Human Traffic will be released on Blu-ray and 4K UHD by the BFI on 21 July 2025 at the RRP of £27.99 for the UHD and £19.99 for the Blu-ray.
