Gerard Butler’s 95-minute sci-fi thriller “Gamer” is now streaming on a new platform. The film, which also stars Michael C. Hall, will be available for free on Plex starting in April 2026.
The movie is set in a near-future world where humans control other people in a massive online game. Butler plays a death row inmate forced into this violent system. Hall portrays the game’s reclusive creator.
This release marks a shift for Plex, a service traditionally known for organizing personal media libraries. The platform is expanding its free, ad-supported streaming offerings.
The film originally premiered in 2009. Its arrival on Plex provides a new avenue for viewers to access this action-driven science fiction title without a subscription fee.
