Here are just a few of the STARZ app's current action films:

Gangs of New York

Set in 1862 New York, Martin Scorsese’s historical drama follows the violent dispute between a Protestant and an Irish-Catholic gang. To say this movie is action-packed would be an understatement. Its intense depiction of riots will satisfy every action fanatic! Plus, the stacked cast includes the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and other A-list actors. If you’re into close combat, then Gangs of New York is the perfect watch for you!

Sicario: Days of the Soldado

This sequel packs just as many thrills as the first Sicario film. Both Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin reprise their roles as ruthless CIA operatives committed to sabotaging Mexican drug cartels. In the sequel, their mission is to purposefully start a war among the cartels as retribution. Chaos ensues as their plan goes sideways, and they race against the clock to make it out alive. Even if you’ve not seen the first movie, this hit film holds up on its own!

Heat

Starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, this classic action flick follows the parallel lives of an LAPD lieutenant (Pacino) and a criminal mastermind (De Niro) as they fight to establish their legacies. The cat-and-mouse game builds suspense throughout the entire film, and who can forget the chilling restaurant scene?! Both a masterclass in acting and a well-paced thriller, Heat reigns as one of the greatest crime dramas ever.

Die Hard

It’s a good day to Die Hard, and with the STARZ app, you can yippee-ki-yay your way through the first three Die Hard movies. Bruce Willis stars as John McClane, the tough-as-nails NYPD cop who spends each movie outwitting a different terrorist group. Fear is no match for McClane! He repeatedly defies all odds with hair-raising stunts and daring fight sequences. We may disagree on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but it definitely counts as a high-octane action film!

All of these action films (and more!) are available on the STARZ app! That’s hours of fast-paced thrills right at your fingertips. Sign-up for the STARZ app now!
