Where to Watch Stalker(1979)

Stalker (1979), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, is a science fiction film and is available to stream on 9 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.0/10 and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes from 2,500 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1979, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1970s science fiction, and remains widely watched decades later.

The film stars Alisa Freyndlikh, Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, and Anatoliy Solonitsyn. At 162 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.

If you're looking to watch Stalker online, the best option is HBO Max Amazon Channel for subscribers, and it's also included with Criterion Channel and Max, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Cruel Intentions and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, both of which are available to stream right now.
