For High-Octane Action: You can’t beat Michael Mann’s crime masterpiece Heat, Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, or Nicholas Winding Refn’s sleek synth-thriller Drive.
-
For Military & War Historians: Dive into the gritty, boots-on-the-ground realism of Hamburger Hill or We Were Soldiers.
-
For High-Concept Horror/Thrillers: Pair Wes Craven’s airborne claustrophobia in Red Eye with the sheer, unrelenting tension of Green Room.
Slip on your PJs, grab some popcorn, and head over to Pluto TV to watch these killer movies this August.
