Jake Gyllenhaal may be hot in the 2024 Road House remake, but nothing can beat the original Road House movie starring Patrick Swayze. After all, it’s Patrick Swayze!

Directed by Rowdy Herrington, this 1989 action flick was the definition of macho ’80s fun. Swayze plays a professional “cooler” named James Dalton, whose job is to break up bar fights at a rowdy club in Missouri. The film wasn’t exactly hit among critics at the time—it was nominated for several Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture—but it was a modest box office success, and found new life on cable over the last three decades. For Swayze fans, it’s become a classic, especially in the wake of the actor’s tragic death in 2009.

Star Jake Gyllenhaal has teamed up with director Doug Liman for a new spin on the classic movie, casting Gyllenhaal as a former UFC fighter hired as a bouncer at a bar in the Florida Keys. The best part? The new Road House—which will release on Amazon Prime on March 21— cast actual UFC champion Conor McGregor to play Gyllenhaal’s antagonist in the movie.

If you’ve never seen the original Road House movie, or if you’re just craving a rewatch, now’s the perfect time to watch it. Read on to find out where the 1989 Road House movie is streaming.

Where to stream Road House 1989:

You can stream the original Road House movie on Max, the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, or on Amazon Prime Video. The movie is free to stream on Max and Prime, provided that you have a subscription to those services. You can also stream Road House on YouTube TV or on Hulu, if you have the Max add-on.

If you don’t have a Max or an Amazon Prime subscription, you can buy or rent Road House (1989) on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Google Play, Apple TV+, Fandango and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use, but on Amazon Prime, the movie costs $3.89 to rent, and $14.69 to buy. If you rent the movie, you’ll have 48 hours to view it after hitting play.

Is the Road House movie on Netflix?

No, sorry. Neither the original 1989 Road House movie nor the 2024 Road House remake, is streaming on Netflix. Certainly, the new Road House movie will never be on Netflix, because it’s an Amazon Prime original movie.
