Adam Blevins began working in the entertainment industry in 2022 as a Staff Writer for Agents of Fandom, where he progressed to Senior Editor and interviewed talent from Marvel Studios, House of the Dragon, and Planet of the Apes. He joined Collider as a News Author in April 2024, was promoted to a Senior position in December 2024, and has written over 3,000 articles for the site, including exclusives relating to Avengers: Doomsday, The Penguin, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and more. He primarily writes about the latest box office numbers and the hottest movies and TV shows on streaming, while also covering superhero and sci-fi news. He has completed a set visit for The Chosen and even has several months of experience writing Gaming Features at ScreenRant. You can find him on X, LinkedIn, and Muckrack.

The last few years have been quiet for Quentin Tarantino after he last directed a movie in 2019, but this is all going to change soon with the launch of his next film in IMAX this November. Tarantino has only directed nine movies in his career, which is significantly less than some of the other filmmakers in his generation, but he’s won two Oscars and been nominated for several more. Tarantino recently guided Brad Pitt to the best performance of his career in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, which grossed over $400 million at the box office against a $90 million budget — this budget is relatively modest for as many stars that appear in the film. Pitt will return to his Oscar-winning role later this year in The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.

Over the years, Quentin Tarantino has directed some of the most famous films of all time, which is even more impressive considering how his total stacks up to other legendary filmmakers like Ridley Scott or Steven Spielberg. Most fans would agree a movie like Pulp Fiction is best suited to be at the top of the list of his most iconic films, but there’s another that would certainly get some votes if you were to conduct a general poll. We’re talking, of course, about Django Unchained, the 2012 dark Western epic starring Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz. The film also features outstanding supporting performances from Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Kerry Washington. 14 years after Django Unchained ripped off another successful theatrical run, the film is officially available to watch on Prime Video via a Howdy subscription — it’s also streaming on MovieSphere by Lionsgate.

What Is ‘Django Unchained’ About?

Not only did Christoph Waltz win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his role in Django Unchained, but Tarantino also won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Both star and writer also won BAFTA’s in these respective categories, and Waltz also won the Oscar three years prior thanks to his role in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. The official synopsis for the film, which earned scores of 87% from critics and 92% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows:

“Two years before the Civil War, Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave, finds himself accompanying an unorthodox German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) on a mission to capture the vicious Brittle brothers. Their mission successful, Schultz frees Django, and together they hunt the South's most-wanted criminals. Their travels take them to the infamous plantation of shady Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), where Django's long-lost wife (Kerry Washington) is still a slave.”
