Rush (2013) isn't on Netflix in the US, the UK, or most other major libraries right now. Ron Howard's Formula 1 drama moved to rental and subscription platforms after Netflix dropped it, so if you want to watch it tonight, you'll find it on Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV instead of scrolling through Netflix.

If you searched for "Rush" and landed here by accident, there's a decent chance you're after a different title. That mix-up gets its own section below.

Where does Rush (2013) stream now?

Netflix dropped Rush from its US catalog on April 16, 2024. The UK lost it earlier, in 2022, and libraries in Ireland, Italy, Canada, Australia, and Mexico have all followed since. VPN Super couldn't find a single primary source confirming these exact dates from Netflix or Studiocanal directly, but four independent "where to watch" sites, JustWatch, Reelgood, TheVore, and TV Guide, all confirm the film is off Netflix in the US today, which is the part that matters if you're deciding what to watch tonight.

Studiocanal, which controls much of the film's distribution outside the US, now licenses Rush to Amazon Channels and Apple TV instead of renewing its Netflix deal. In the US, renting it costs about $3.99 on Prime Video or the Apple TV app, cheaper than a month of most streaming subscriptions if this is the only title you're after. In the UK, Studiocanal's own channel through Apple TV or Prime Video carries it, alongside Sky Store and Rakuten TV.

Outside the US and UK, the film mostly sits with subscription services rather than one-off rentals. Ireland gets it through Apple TV, Sky Store, and Rakuten TV. In Italy, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Go, and HBO Max carry it as part of their existing subscriptions. Canada has it on Crave, or free with ads on CTV. Australia carries it free with ads on 7plus, and Mexico gets it through the Adrenalina Pura channel via Amazon or Apple TV.

Is Rush (2013) the same as other movies called Rush?

Four other projects share the word "Rush" in their title, and search engines don't always sort them out cleanly:

How do you keep streaming private while traveling?

None of this changes if you're traveling, but your connection does. Logging into a rental or subscription account over hotel or airport Wi-Fi means anyone else on that network could see your traffic, and a streaming VPN encrypts that connection so what you watch stays between you and the platform you already pay for. Your internet provider can also see which services you connect to, even without seeing what's inside the encrypted traffic, and some travelers prefer to keep that private too. If you've got a US-based Hulu or Peacock subscription, connecting through a server back home keeps you signed in and streaming normally instead of hitting an error that only shows up once you leave the country.

In practice, that means three steps:

1. Check where Rush is available in your country first.
2. Subscribe, rent, or buy it through that legitimate service.
3. If you're on public Wi-Fi or traveling, turn on your VPN before you open the app so the session stays private.

What is Rush (2013) about?

The film follows the 1976 Formula 1 season, when James Hunt's brash approach to racing collided with Niki Lauda's methodical one. Their rivalry builds toward Lauda's near-fatal crash at the Nürburgring and a title fight that comes down to the final race in Japan.

Chris Hemsworth plays Hunt and Daniel Brühl plays Lauda, with Olivia Wilde as Suzy Miller and Alexandra Maria Lara as Marlene Lauda. The film holds an 8.1 on IMDb, 89% from critics and 88% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 74 on Metacritic.
