About The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is a 2008 movie in the Action, Crime and Thriller genres, directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart. It has a runtime of 2 hours 32 minutes. It holds an average rating of 8.5/10 from 35,917 viewers. Below you can see where to watch The Dark Knight in United States — across streaming, rental and purchase options — along with the full cast, trailer and viewer reviews.
Still the high-water mark for comic-book cinema — less a superhero film than a tense urban crime saga. Heath Ledger's Joker is the obvious draw, but it's the moral pressure-cooker plotting that holds up on rewatch.
Good for: Crime-thriller fans, not just the superhero crowd.
