Project 4k80 [hot] Download Site

While the official versions are locked away, an underground group of dedicated fans took matters into their own hands. Following the success of Project 4K77 (Star Wars) and Project 4K83 (Return of the Jedi), the community has delivered —a stunning, fan-led restoration of The Empire Strikes Back sourced directly from original 35mm film prints.

The team scans the physical film frames at 4K resolution, digitally removes dirt, scratches, and jitter, and corrects the color palette to match the original laboratory timing of 1980.
