The Big Country trailer
The Big Country (1958), directed by William Wyler, is a drama film and is available to stream on 12 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 7.9/10 and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes from 411 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1958, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1950s drama, and remains widely watched decades later.
The film stars Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, and Carroll Baker. At 167 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.
You can watch The Big Country for free (with ads) on Hoopla, Plex, Plex Channel, Fawesome, The Roku Channel, and Tubi — no subscription required, so it's the easiest option if you don't already pay for a streaming service. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Mrs. Doubtfire and The Magnificent Seven, both of which are available to stream right now.
