3 Must-Watch Thriller Movies New to Prime Video (Oct. 20-26)

Looking to spice up your streaming queue this week? As the October nights grow longer, there is no better time to dive into the gripping world of suspense, heists, and high-stakes espionage. This week on Prime Video, our top picks offer a diverse range of thrills, from lighthearted capers to hard-hitting revenge sagas.

1. Masterplan (2026)

While recent Prime Originals have leaned into various genres, 'Masterplan' brings a fresh, comedic-thriller energy to the platform. Starring the immensely charismatic Stanley Tucci, the film follows a legendary thief attempting the ultimate score: the theft of the world-famous Mona Lisa. The heist quickly spirals into a chaotic family reunion when he realizes he must recruit his two estranged children—an expert hacker and a demolitions pro—to pull it off. It’s a fun, breezy watch that balances high-tension stakes with familial drama.

2. Dr. No (1962)

Classic cinema fans and action aficionados alike are in for a treat as the James Bond franchise makes a triumphant return to Prime Video. If you want to understand the origins of the world's most famous secret agent, 'Dr. No' is the essential starting point. Sean Connery delivers an iconic performance in this 1962 spy masterpiece, which laid the groundwork for decades of tropes, gadgets, and villainous schemes. While some aspects of the film are clearly products of their time, it remains a foundational piece of cinema history that is well worth revisiting.

3. John Wick (2014)

Arguably one of the best action-thrillers of the 21st century, the original 'John Wick' is now streaming on Prime. Keanu Reeves stars as a grieving retired hitman who is forced back into the criminal underworld after a group of careless mobsters makes the fatal mistake of attacking his home and killing his dog. The film revitalized the action genre with its slick choreography and world-building. It is an intense, pulse-pounding tale of revenge that remains as satisfying today as it was upon its release.
