Where To Watch ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ Online In 2023
Between the Clueless reboot and Daria spinoff, new Harriet the Spy series, and Zac Efron’s Three Men and A Baby, the nostalgia trend is going strong in 2020 — and it shows no sign of stopping. Today, we got more reboot news: Planes, Trains and Automobiles is officially getting a remake, Deadline reports.
Kevin Hart and Will Smith will both produce and star in the comedy reboot, which comes three decades after John Hughes’ 1987 classic. The original Planes, Trains and Automobiles starred Steve Martin and John Candy as an unlikely duo who are forced to team up to get home to their families for the holidays after their flights are canceled.
The reboot news had us reminiscing about the original, so we did some research — here’s everything you need to know to watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
IS PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES ON NETFLIX?
Sorry Netflix subscribers, but the ’80s classic comedy is not available to stream on Netflix. The good news is, the streaming giant currently has one John Hughes film. Dennis The Menace, the director’s 1993 children’s film, is now streaming. While Netflix used to be home to some of Hughes’ most famous films, like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Breakfast Club, the titles have since left their library, but we’ve got our fingers crossed that they’ll return soon.
IS PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES ON HULU?
Like the Netflix crowd, Hulu users are also out of luck when it comes to Planes, Trains and Automobiles. But Hulu customers with Starz Add-on have a wider selection of John Hughes films to choose from, including She’s Having a Baby, The Breafast Club and Curly Sue.
HOW TO WATCH PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES:
So Planes, Trains and Automobiles isn’t on Netflix or Hulu, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stream it. In fact, there are plenty of ways to watch Steve Martin and John Candy’s holiday journey. The comedy is currently available to stream on HBO Max, but you also have a handful of rental options. Vudu, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube and iTunes all offer Planes, Trains and Automobiles to rent for $3.99 — which just happens to be the cost of a 1987 movie ticket.
