Jim Carrey is ready to reconnect this October as Sony Pictures Home Entertainment celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Cable Guy with the film's debut on 4K Ultra HD.

Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip's idea of friendship - which includes physical assault, a game of 'Porno Password' and a medieval joust - may be hazardous to Steven's health. In Chip's own immortal words, "I can be your best friend... or your worst enemy."

The Cable Guy is directed by Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander), and co-stars Leslie Mann, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson.

Released in 1996, The Cable Guy represented a significant departure for Jim Carrey following the enormous mainstream success of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.

Newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative with Dolby Vision HDR a new Dolby Atmos mix, The Cable Guy is released on 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition Steelbook 19th October 2026 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
