While there are currently no completely free, long-term options to watch Inglourious Basterds, viewers have a great way to access the film through a free trial. One can currently stream the movie on Amazon Video and Apple TV.

The movie is also available to stream under a standard subscription on multiple other platforms, including Paramount+ and Moviesphere+ under the Amazon Prime Video channel, but viewers choosing this platform need to hurry as it will be leaving within 25 days.

This gripping 2009 war drama, set in Nazi-occupied France, follows two parallel plots destined to violently intersect: a team of Jewish-American soldiers known as The Basterds on a scalping mission, and a French-Jewish theater owner plotting her own revenge. The film's unique blend of historical revisionism and stylized violence has cemented its status as a modern classic, making it a must-watch whenever it surfaces on a platform.
