Polygon · 2 hours ago

Quentin Tarantino's 2012 Western revenge film Django Unchained has surged to the No. 1 spot on Pluto TV in the United States, according to tracking site FlixPatrol, marking a notable resurgence more than fourteen years after its cinema release. The film has held a place on the free streaming service's chart for roughly a month, underlining the lasting popularity of one of Tarantino's most commercially successful works.

Starring Jamie Foxx as a freed slave who partners with bounty hunter Dr King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) to track down criminals while searching for his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the film also features Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson. It blends Tarantino's trademark revenge-thriller style with spaghetti Western influences, and proved a major critical and commercial hit on release, taking almost $450 million at the global box office and earning five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, with wins for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Waltz.
