Where action films stream in the UK
Netflix and Prime Video have the largest rotating action line-ups, and both add and remove films every month. Disney+ is the home of Marvel and Star Wars. NOW (Sky Cinema) picks up many studio blockbusters a few months after their cinema run, so check it before you rent something recent.
Rent or subscribe?
New releases usually arrive to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV and other stores well before they reach a subscription. If you only want one film, a rental is often cheaper than a month of a service you will not otherwise use.
Free options
BBC iPlayer, ITVX and Channel 4 regularly show action films for free, with a TV licence or adverts, but they tend to come and go within a few weeks.
