Guy Ritchie has released several new projects in 2026, some successful and some underwhelming, but one of his most recent movies is finally getting its due on streaming. Ritchie opened the year by turning to Prime Video to expand the Sherlock Holmes universe via the Young Sherlock prequel series, which has been renewed for Season 2. Ritchie then returned to the big screen for the first time in a few years for In The Grey, the new action thriller co-starring Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal. The film bombed at the box office despite some heavy star power, but it’s gone on to become a streaming hit on VOD platforms like Prime Video. One of Ritchie’s projects that dropped straight-to-streaming in 2025 was Fountain of Youth, which has been billed as a mash-up of both Indiana Jones and Uncharted.
Fountain of Youth premiered last May, and with stars like John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, and Eiza Gonzalez at the helm, it’s safe to say Apple TV had lofty expectations for the epic action-adventure thriller. The film came out of the gates with some of the worst reviews of any Ritchie-directed action feature, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the top 10 most-watched movies in the world for the streamer over the last year. It’s even been in the top 10 for over 250 days now, a streaming accomplishment that few shows or movies ever reach. Fountain of Youth has even outperformed many newer arrivals, managing to cling to a spot in the top 10 while other movies come and go over the course of a few weeks.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.

Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond

Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.

Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

What Is ‘Fountain of Youth’ About?
Apple TV’s official synopsis for Fountain of Youth, which earned poor scores of 35% from critics and 38% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “A treasure-hunting mastermind assembles a team for a big adventure. But to outwit and outrun threats at every turn, he’ll need someone even smarter, his estranged sister.” Fountain of Youth was not given a theatrical release, and the film was instead dropped straight-to-streaming on Apple TV last year. Domhnall Gleeson, best known for his role as General Hux in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, also stars in Fountain of Youth, alongside The Boys veteran Laz Alonso. Stanley Tucci also stars.
