Prime Video is always adding thriller movies to its library, and it’s not a surprise. I track streaming service charts for a living and can tell you firsthand that the genre is extremely popular across platforms. The Amazon-owned service is no exception to this trend.
So, if you’re a Prime Video subscriber with a love of thrillers (join the club!), I’ve combed through the new additions to the service in June 2026 and found three that are sure to give your watchlist a jolt of adrenaline. This week’s trio includes thrillers led by Gerard Butler, Denzel Washington and…Helen Mirren!
These are the Prime Video thriller movies you need to consider streaming this week.

‘Plane’ (2023)
If you like your thrillers to be on the nose, then “Plane” is the pick for you this week. This Gerard Butler-led action effort disregards subtlety in favor of big thrills and ludicrous narrative leaps. But, most surprisingly, it all works. “Plane” could never be labeled Oscar-worthy, but it’s consistently enjoyable from start to finish. Butler and co-star Mike Colter also make for a great buddy-cop-style team, even if their alliance is a fragile one.
Brodie Torrance (Butler) is a pilot forced to take drastic measures when lightning threatens the safety of his plane and its passengers. With no choice but to land in a war-torn region, the crash is just the start of the ordeal. Teaming up with an accused murderer, Louis Gaspare (Colter), who was on the airplane in FBI custody, Torrance and his unlikely ally have to rescue the passengers from rebel fighters who have taken them hostage.

‘Out Of Time’ (2003)
Here at Tom’s Guide, we’ve marked 2026 the “Year of Denzel Washington.” To celebrate the occasion, my colleague, Malcolm McMillan, is watching every single Denzel Washington movie over the course of the year (there are exactly 52, so it lines up perfectly). As he’s checking them out chronologically, he’s still in the 1990s, so if you want to get a jumpstart on Malcolm’s efforts, you can stream 2003’s “Out of Time” right now.
This movie, which was Washington’s second collaboration with Carl Franklin after 1995’s “Devil in a Blue Dress,” doesn’t have the enduring popularity of the Hollywood icon’s strongest work. However, it remains worth a look with the right expectation. Matt (Washington) is the chief of police in a small Florida Keys town who gets entangled in a corruption conspiracy when his lover is killed, and he’s set up to be the fall guy.

‘The Debt’ (2011)
Thriller fans looking for star power alongside twists should check out “The Debt” now that it’s been added to Prime Video. This 2010 thriller is headlined by Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain and Sam Worthington, and is actually a remake of a 2007 Israeli film. Like the other two picks on this list, it has its issues and flaws, but if you crave excitement set in the world of international covert ops, “The Debt” won’t leave you feeling shortchanged.
Opening in 1965, “The Debt” sees three Mossad agents travel to East Berlin to find and eliminate a German war criminal who is now working as a gynecologist. When the mission goes poorly and the target escapes capture, the agents agree to lie about the outcome to avoid disgrace upon their return home. Eventually, years later, their charade threatens to unravel, with grim consequences for all involved in the dangerous lie.
