Few cinematic sagas have gripped the global imagination quite like James Bond. A potent cocktail of sophisticated spying, thrilling action, and iconic style, it has continually redefined the spy genre across generations. Years after its record-breaking debut, one particular installment, Skyfall, a crowning achievement in the Daniel Craig era, is now experiencing an unexpected resurgence across digital lands.

Where to watch Skyfall?

Skyfall, a jewel in the James Bond crown and a commercial powerhouse, is not currently available for streaming on Netflix in most regions, including the United States. Skyfall is currently dominating streaming charts, particularly on the Amazon-owned MGM+. This renewed success comes months after Amazon's significant acquisition of the James Bond creative rights from long-standing producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

The film was proving exceptionally popular in the United Kingdom and Germany, steadily climbing global viewership rankings, signaling its lasting appeal. Beyond its recent streaming victory, Skyfall achieved unparalleled critical and financial success upon its 2012 premiere. It boasts an impressive 92% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, among the highest for any James Bond movie. Furthermore, the film remains the highest-grossing entry in the series, earning over $1.1 billion worldwide. This widespread acclaim stems from a compelling story that unfolds into the agent's challenges.

Skyfall’s phenomenal success is matched by the intensity of its storytelling, as Daniel Craig’s James Bond embarks on a dangerous investigation that tests both his skills and his loyalty.

Skyfall's spectacular plot

Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall centers on Daniel Craig's James Bond investigating a complex web of cyberattacks and targeted data leaks. These wicked acts are written by Raoul Silva, a brilliant former MI6 agent turned formidable cyberterrorist seeking revenge. Bond's investigation reveals Silva's motive and he finds out that Silva's strong desire for revenge is aimed directly at MI6.
