Long before Tom Cruise became famous for his daring stunts in movies like Mission: Impossible and Top Gun: Maverick, he starred in a surprisingly good action film that many people missed. Now, 15 years after its release, that movie – Knight and Day – is gaining a new audience and climbing the streaming charts. It’s become a bit of a cult favorite, and it’s making a comeback!
People are rediscovering the action movie Knight and Day on Prime Video, where it’s currently the fourth most popular film. It’s behind Play Dirty at number one, the Spanish romance Our Fault in second, and the Ryan Reynolds-produced documentary John Candy: I Like Me in third. Released in 2010, Knight and Day received mixed reviews from critics – and audiences seem to be just as divided, with scores around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the lukewarm reception, the film was a box office success, earning over $261 million worldwide on a budget of $117 million.
The movie boasts a fantastic cast, led by Cameron Diaz and featuring Tom Cruise in a supporting role. Other notable actors include Peter Sarsgaard, Paul Dano, Viola Davis, Marc Blucas, and Jordi Molla. Interestingly, the film was directed by James Mangold, well before he became known for hits like Logan and Le Mans ’66 (also known as Ford v Ferrari). The story centers on June (Diaz), who meets a fellow passenger on a flight to see her sister, and unexpectedly finds herself caught up in a thrilling and perilous adventure around the world. Here’s what the movie is about, according to the official description:
June Havens (Cameron Diaz) strikes up a conversation with a handsome man (Tom Cruise) on a flight, unaware that she’s about to be swept into a dangerous international mission. He reveals he’s a secret agent framed for a crime, and now June finds herself unwillingly partnered with him. Together, they’re chased across continents – dodging danger in Boston, scaling buildings in Austria, and even running from bulls in Spain – all while learning to rely on each other to survive.
What Audiences Are Saying About ‘Knight and Day,’ 15 Years Later
