Edge of Tomorrow, Doug Liman's science-fiction film, is joining the Prime Video catalog on September 30, 2026. Led by Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, the 2014 action-thriller is also streaming on Netflix as of August 6, 2026.
In the near future, Earth faces an alien species nicknamed the Mimics. Despite armies being mobilized, humanity cannot reclaim the territories they occupy. William Cage, a communications officer with no combat experience, is forcibly sent to the front lines during an assault on the French coast.
Killed just minutes after the assault begins, Cage reawakens at the start of the same day. Each new death sends him back to the same moment, with memories of what he has already lived through. He then uses these loops to anticipate the attacks and push a little farther across the battlefield.
Starring Tom Cruise, Cage seeks guidance from Rita Vrataski, a legendary warrior famed for a Verdun victory. Played by Emily Blunt, she understands his experience, having once possessed the same ability. She takes him under her wing, hoping each loop will bring them closer to the source of the Mimics’ power.
The time loop isn’t just there to relive the battle; it tracks Cage’s evolution, moving him from a frontline officer trying to avoid combat to a soldier who can anticipate the enemy’s moves. His relationship with Rita also shifts in a new way, since only he retains memories of their training and their previous attempts.
Edge of Tomorrow reimagines the Japanese novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. The screenplay is written by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth, and John-Henry Butterworth. The film relocates the war to Europe and expands on the exosuits that soldiers wear to take on the Mimics.
Around the two leads, the cast features Bill Paxton as Sergeant Farrell, Brendan Gleeson as General Brigham, along with Noah Taylor, Charlotte Riley, Jonas Armstrong, Kick Gurry, Franz Drameh and Dragomir Mrsic.
