An overlooked Kate Beckinsale action thriller is suddenly pulling fresh viewers on Prime Video, nearly a year after release — despite barely registering in cinemas first time round.

Every now and then a film that all but vanished on arrival suddenly springs back up online and gets a whole new round of eyeballs. That’s exactly what’s happening with Stolen Girl, the 2025 action-thriller led by Kate Beckinsale, which has found its way up the Prime Video charts in the United States — and honestly, you could have blinked and missed it when it was in cinemas.

‘Stolen Girl is now No. 3 among movies on Amazon Prime Video’s US rankings as of 1 September 2026, beating out Project Hail Mary and trailing only Good Fortune and Masters of the Universe.’

This resurgence is pretty remarkable, especially for a film that’s never managed to generate a Rotten Tomatoes score at all. There’s been no groundswell of critical acclaim. If anything, Stolen Girl seems to have found its audience purely by word of mouth and online viewership — no festival buzz, no high-profile campaign, just people logging in and clicking play.

The plot – and why it might resonate

Directed by James Kent and inspired by true events, the film puts Kate Beckinsale in the role of Maureen Dabbagh, a woman completely gutted after her ex-husband vanishes with their young daughter, whisking her away to the Middle East. Years of heartbreak and one fruitless lead after another push her to the brink and drive her obsession with finding her child.

Enter Scott Eastwood as Robeson, an ex-Marine who’s carved out a strange niche: locating and retrieving abducted children. What starts out as a desperate team-up quickly snowballs into a saga of CIA entanglements, bureaucratic stonewalling, and enough peeling layers of betrayal to fill an entire season of television. It’s a proper thriller setup: CIA meddling, secretive backchannels, and a frantic hunt with the clock ticking.

Who’s in it?

  • Kate Beckinsale as Maureen Dabbagh
  • Scott Eastwood as Robeson
  • Jordan Duvigneau as Carl
  • Matt Craven as Joe
  • Alejandra Howard as Amina
  • Ana Golja as Nora
  • Arvin Kananian as Karim
  • Talia Asseraf, Massimo McQueen, Robert Farrior, Nowar Yusuf, Paten Hughes, Maddalena Vallecchi Williams, Nikki Taylor, and Jon Kellam in supporting roles

It’s a surprisingly packed cast for something that debuted so quietly. And yet, none of the critical machinery has bothered to weigh in — no Rotten Tomatoes consensus to be found, not even a rogue Metacritic score lurking in the corner. That’s almost unheard of for a mainstream thriller with this calibre of names.

The film climbed to No. 5 among all titles on Prime’s Top 10, and even better to No. 3 among movies specifically. This despite coming out nearly a year ago and earning barely a flicker of attention the first time around. Maybe it’s the subject matter, or maybe it’s just the luck of the algorithm, but Stolen Girl is having a second go at finding its audience — whether anyone expected it to or not.
