The blockbuster film, which has raked in more than $1 billion worldwide and re-released in theaters earlier this month, arrived on the streaming platform on Thursday (Dec. 22) in time for the holiday weekend.

Miles Teller, John Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez and Ed Harris are also among the cast.

The action drama made $126.7 million at the box office opening weekend and $7.9 million over a relatively slow Labor Day holiday weekend, in addition to soaring to No. 1 on the list of digital movie releases.
