The core of a great thriller is often a simple, primal drive: survival. These three films from Netflix and Prime Video drop their protagonists into impossible situations and force them to fight for their lives.
Bird Box (Netflix) is the ultimate apocalyptic survival tale. Sandra Bullock stars as a mother who must guide two children to safety in a world where you must stay blindfolded to survive. It’s a fight against an unseen enemy and a hostile environment.
10 Cloverfield Lane (Prime Video) is a tale of bunker survival. A woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is trapped by a man (John Goodman) who claims the outside world is uninhabitable. She must survive not only her confinement but also her potentially unstable captor.
Interceptor (Netflix) is a military survival story. An Army Captain (Elsa Pataky) is trapped on her remote missile base by terrorists. She must use all her skills to survive their assault and prevent a nuclear war.
For more thrilling drama, you can also stream Havoc (Netflix), Black Bag (Prime Video), Saltburn (Prime Video), and The Occupant (Netflix).
