How are they able to release older movies in 4k?

Were they shot in 4k or something we just didn’t have TV’s that could see 4k back in the day?

they were shot on film, which actually has insanely high resolution. it got put onto digital formats (or worse analog formats), which had low resolution. using the same process, they can make the (high-res) film into high-res modern video
