How can I watch a movie or TV show?

If you're looking to watch a title you've found on IMDb, there are a few options you may have to do so based on the availability of the title.

We list every movie and show we are aware of that meet our criteria for inclusion, whether or not they are available on video or ever have been. In some cases, there are no known copies available in digital or physical form. 

To learn more about watching Trailers, Clips, Featurettes, and IMDb Originals, please see the IMDb Video FAQs.

Let's dive into your options:

Watch for Free with IMDb TV!

Certain movies and shows in our database may be available to stream for free with ads for US customers with an IMDb account via IMDb TV. If you're in the US and the title is available, you'll see the following option on the title page.

Looking to stream, rent or buy a digital copy?

We provide links to the Prime Video catalog and other streaming providers when available as a service to our visitors. 

All transactions and/or subscriptions are handled directly by each streaming provider, not by IMDb.com. To get started, search for the movie or show on IMDb and below the poster, we’ll display the options available. 

Depending on the title, you might be able to stream it with a new/existing subscription, rent it, or purchase it. Just look for the “Watch" button, with pricing shown where applicable.
