Her story defied a world trying to dim her light at every turn. Streaming her life is more than watching history; it is witnessing a legacy that transformed everything.

While the world debates subscription choices and ad breaks, the real question emerges: how do you properly toast a woman who turned glowing rocks into global fame?

Tubi offers a free ad-supported pass for the budget-conscious or the distraction-prone. And if you are fancy enough to want ownership, digital retailers, including Apple TV and Google Play Movies, let you rent or buy with a few taps, no lab coat required.

Whether streaming, renting, or catching it free, the film transforms science into a story, inviting audiences to witness how curiosity and courage can ignite worlds, both literal and metaphorical.

While Radioactive brings the modern cinematic sparkle, the classics silently whisper that Curie was already a legend, making breakthroughs and dropping science receipts decades ago.

Marie Curie’s story has long tempted filmmakers, seducing audiences with equal parts intellect and heart. The 1943 classic Madame Curie cast Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in a cinematic love letter to brilliance. Ève Curie’s biography provided the blueprint, spotlighting groundbreaking science and quiet perseverance at a time when women in labs were rarer than a selfie without a filter. Cinema captured her brilliance while the world still grappled with believing in female genius.

Later adaptations refused to be content with nostalgia alone. The 1977 television miniseries Marie Curie examined the woman behind the equations, while the 2016 international drama Marie Curie: The Courage of Knowledge, starring Karolina Gruszka, delved into her triumphs, trials, and undying influence. Even in a streaming era overflowing with sci-fi spectacles, these films remind us that reality can be more electrifying than fiction, and that Curie’s impact still sparks wonder across generations.
