If I Stay, the romantic drama with Chloë Grace Moretz, joins the catalogue of Prime Video on September 1, 2026. Directed by R.J. Cutler, the film adapts Gayle Forman's novel and follows a teenager faced with a decision that could determine her survival.
Mia Hall, 17, splits her days between her cello, her dream of getting into Juilliard, and a romance with Adam, a young musician. A car crash abruptly upends everything. Rushed to the hospital in a coma, Mia finds herself outside her body, watching her loved ones as doctors fight to keep her alive.
The narrative alternates between the long wait at the hospital and Mia’s memories. Her relationship with Adam, her closeness to her parents and brother, and her musical ambitions lend real gravity to the choice she faces: to come back to life despite the losses from the accident, or to refuse to wake up.
Written by Shauna Cross, If I Stay brings to the screen the first installment of Gayle Forman's literary duology. The flashback-driven structure lets Mia's suspended present resonate with the choices that had already shaped her life before the accident, notably the choice between pursuing her musical studies and her romantic relationship.
Chloë Grace Moretz stars as Mia, alongside Jamie Blackley in the role of Adam. Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard portray her parents, with Stacy Keach, Liana Liberato and Aisha Hinds also in the cast.
