Ride or Die on Prime Video arrives July 15th, and it might be the most fun premise of the summer. Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham play best friends whose girls’ trip turns into a run for their lives when one of them turns out to be an international assassin. Yes, really.
Here’s what you need to know before you press play.
What Is Ride or Die About?
Debbie and Judith are best friends who thought they knew everything about each other. They were tighter than 80s pants. Then the secret dropped.
Judith is an international assassin.
When a mysterious figure from Judith’s past resurfaces, things go horribly wrong and Debbie gets dragged into the chaos. According to Prime Video, it’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.
Best friend energy plus body count. I’m in.
Why Ride or Die on Prime Video Should Be on Your Watchlist
The casting alone does the heavy lifting. Octavia Spencer is an Oscar winner who can play anything. Hannah Waddingham became everybody’s favorite after Ted Lasso. Put them in a buddy action comedy together and the chemistry basically writes itself.
The action road trip formula works when the leads actually click. Think Thelma & Louise energy with a Killing Eve twist. If the movie delivers half the vibe the cast had at the premiere, we’re good.
The Premiere Was a Whole Moment
The cast celebrated the release last night at The New York Historical in NYC, and the carpet was loaded. Octavia and Hannah showed out, Power Book II: Ghost stars Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo pulled up, and Rhonda Rox performed.
