Iconic Crime Thriller ‘The Untouchables’ Lands New Free Streaming Home Next Month

by

As a film critic, I’m thrilled to share that one of the greatest crime thrillers ever made is heading to a free streaming service – a perfect excuse to finally see it if you haven’t! Directed by Brian De Palma and released almost 40 years ago, this movie remains a true classic. And with a cast featuring both Kevin Costner and the legendary Sean Connery, it’s a film that demands your attention.

We’re discussing The Untouchables, the stylish 1987 crime thriller set during Prohibition. The film follows Eliot Ness, played by Kevin Costner, as he relentlessly pursues Al Capone, brilliantly brought to life by Robert De Niro. Known for its memorable scenes and the signature flair of director Brian De Palma, The Untouchables remains a popular favorite, and it’s also filled with instantly recognizable quotes.

Al Capone (played by De Niro), a notorious gangster, built a criminal empire through illegal alcohol sales and controlled Chicago with ruthless power. Despite the efforts of Prohibition agent Eliot Ness (Costner), bringing Capone to justice proved impossible due to widespread corruption within the Chicago police. Determined to succeed, Ness assembled a dedicated team of honest law enforcement officers, including Irish-American cop Jimmy Malone (Connery), to finally take down Capone.

What’s Next for Brian De Palma?


Paramount Pictures

Brian De Palma has directed some truly unforgettable films, like Scarface, Carrie, Body Double, and the first Mission: Impossible. He’s reached a point in his career where he could retire, and many assumed he had after his 2019 film, Domino. However, De Palma himself says that’s not true.

In an interview with Vulture last year, the 85-year-old director revealed he’s considering one final movie. He hasn’t shared any details about it yet, only hinting that…

We’re currently looking for actors for a project, but I can’t share any details about it just yet. I’ll be thrilled to make an announcement as soon as the casting is finalized.

While we’re all wondering what Brian De Palma will do next, don’t miss The Untouchables when it arrives on Tubi on December 1, 2025.
