Lights, camera, ACTION! Find the perfect action movie tonight on Paramount+.

Skyfall

Eon Productions/MGM

Action lovers, rejoice! This is the 23rd James Bond film and the third one to feature Daniel Craig as the iconic agent 007. And like most Bond films, this one is jam-packed with huge stunts, thrilling chases, an all-star cast, and nonstop adrenaline-pumping action from start to finish.

Jack Reacher

Skydance Productions

The mere presence of Tom Cruise is a good sign that the action movie you're about to watch is gonna be AWESOME. And the Jack Reacher film series is no exception! Cruise plays the titular character, a former Army police investigator who's really good at two things: uncovering elaborate government conspiracies and kickin' bad guys' butts. Add in a mind-bending plot and some crazy action scenes, and you have the perfect action flick for your next movie night.

Gemini Man

Skydance Media

Will Smith plays an elite assassin who goes up against the ultimate adversary: a younger Will Smith! This movie is overflowing with cutting-edge special effects and edge-of-your-seat action (including a motorcycle chase that will leave you breathless) and director Ang Lee is really good at making everything he films look beautiful. Watch it tonight!

Infinite

Contrafilm

Mark Wahlberg plays a down-on-his-luck guy suffering from (what he thinks is) schizophrenia. But when a mysterious man helps him remember centuries' worth of past lives, he must embark on a death-defying mission to save humanity! infinite is an action-packed sci-fi extravaganza that's not to be missed, so stream the Paramount+ Original Movie tonight!

Terminator: Dark Fate

Paramount Pictures

Sarah Connor is back and more badass than ever before! The sixth installment in the Terminator franchise has everything you're looking for in a good action movie: time-traveling shapeshifting robot assassins, awesome fight sequences, huge explosions and car crashes, and there's even a dash of Arnold Schwarzenegger in there, too. Check it out ASAP!

The Rhythm Section

Eon Productions

Every action movie benefits from one key ingredient: revenge! Blake Lively plays a grieving widow who risks everything to track down the terrorists responsible for killing her family. If you're looking for an action-packed film that also has some heart and drama, you just found it!

Star Trek Beyond

Skydance Media

This third film in the Star Trek reboot series features Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, and the rest of the Enterprise crew in their toughest challenge yet: reclaiming the Enterprise from an alien warlord who captured the ship and most of its crew. The film has more high-flying, warp-speed action than you can shoot a phaser at and it's the perfect action-packed movie to watch tonight.

Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol

Skydance Productions

Yes, this is the one with that airplane scene. Tom Cruise reprises his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, an IMF agent who basically spends all his time saving the world. Over the past 25 years of the M:I franchise, Tom Cruise has developed a reputation for doing his own super-dangerous, insanely mind-blowing stunts that look so freakin' cool onscreen. And the airplane stunt in Ghost Protocol (in which Tom holds onto the side of an actual airplane as it actually takes off) is probably the most iconic stunt in the series and maybe of the past 30 years of action flicks. Don't miss this one!

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sega Sammy Group

You might not expect a movie based on a blue cartoon hedgehog from a '90s video game to get an A+ for action, but Sonic delivers! The movie has some surprisingly awesome fight scenes and car chases, and just enough plot to drive the action without feeling talky or plot-heavy. You'll also love Jim Carrey's depiction of the villainous Dr. Robotnik, which will totally remind you of the "old skool" Jim Carrey you grew up with. And here's the best part: You can enjoy this high-octane action movie with your kids!

It's a great night for an action flick and Paramount+ has over a thousand great movies to choose from. So find your favorite one tonight and start streaming — FOR FREE!
