Bounty Hunter is a 2025 American neo-Western science fiction action film written, co-produced, and directed by Angelina Jolie and starring Lauren Cohan, Idris Elba, Oscar Isaac, Mila Kunis, with Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson, and featuring Miles Teller, Amanda Seyfried, Ian McShane, Morgan Freeman, Stellan Skarsgård, and Anthony Hopkins in supporting roles. A dystopic vision of Western films, it follows a former war veteran turned bounty hunter who teams up with two of her oldest friends to rescue her wife from a ruthless Mafia boss. Distributed by Netflix and a co-production between Legendary Pictures and The Stone Quarry, Bounty Hunter was released internationally on November 17th, 2025, and in the United States in IMAX theaters and Netflix on December 15th; it became a box-office success and Jolie's highest grossing film at $1.45 billion. The film received universal acclaim from critics and audiences who praised its ambition, direction, themes, story, Hans Zimmer's musical score, VFX, action sequences, and Cohan, Elba, Isaac, Kunis, DiCaprio and Jackson's performances, but targeted the graphic violence and usage of the dehumanizing word "wanker" for criticism. Among its accolades, the film was nominated for five Academy Awards and won three, including Best Actress for Cohan, Best Director for Jolie, and Best Original Film Score for Zimmer. A sequel is in development.
