The iconic 170-minute crime thriller that inspired The Dark Knight is finally free on streaming

As The Odyssey continues to wow audiences on the big screen, many are revisiting director Christopher Nolan’s remarkable filmography. Of course, his 2008 Batman movie The Dark Knight is one of his most beloved films for how it elevated the comic book movie genre by placing Batman at the center of a gripping crime thriller. The Dark Knight, however, would not be what it is without a 1995 crime-thriller classic, which Nolan has repeatedly cited as a direct inspiration.
