Heart of the Beast is out on digital
Heart of the Beast is now available digitally on platforms such as Prime Video. During its theatrical run, the movie found some critical and commercial success. Suicide Squad director David Ayer helmed the movie. He and Pitt previously worked together on Fury, the 2014 war film that Ayer himself penned. Meanwhile, Cameron Alexander wrote the script for Heart of the Beast.
Predominantly set against the backdrop of remote Alaska, Heart of the Beast revolves around Pitt’s James Belmont, a retired Special Forces Command Sergeant Major, and his combat dog, Odin. Both the human and the animal deal with PTSD because of their past. After being trapped in the Alaskan wilderness following a plane crash, the duo must rely on each other and their training to survive. Besides Pitt, the cast includes J.K. Simmons as Watkins and Anna Lambe as Amber. Multiple dogs (Uber, Seeka, Ryker, and Hondo) portray Odin.
Heart of the Beast had its world premiere at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, on September 16, 2026, before its theatrical release. The movie currently has an 84% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 185 reviews. Daniel Hart of Ready Steady Cut gave Heart of the Beast a positive review.
“Heart of the Beast is worth the ticket,” Hart wrote. “It’s worth the emotions. If you love dogs, then this is a must-see experience. Brad Pitt slips into his role completely naturally, and those cute cast dogs are impressive and endearing. There’s little to complain about. The ultimate ‘man’s best friend’ film has been created.”
Additionally, Heart of the Beast made over $188.6 million globally (via Box Office Mojo). The movie comes out on DVD and Blu-ray on January 26, 2027.
