Pluto TV is making viewers an offer they can’t refuse by bringing two of the greatest films ever made to our screens for the low price of free, gratis, nada. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are always worth a revisit and now, they’re going to become very easy to experience once again.
The two Francis Ford Coppola classics are joining Pluto TV’s new Americana 2026 collection, where they’ll be streaming free as part of a huge batch of 250 movies. It’s a limited-time “destination” for the streamer, and it launches on Monday, June 29. The celebration is designed to celebrate America’s 250th birthday on July 4th. The collection of movies revolves around American history, music, sports, family, and ambition — the good old-fashioned American dream — so obviously the Corleone dynasty fits into that last one very nicely.
The first Godfather movie stars Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront) as Vito Corleone, Al Pacino (Heat) as Michael Corleone, James Caan (Misery) as Sonny Corleone, Robert Duvall (Apocalypse Now) as Tom Hagen, Diane Keaton(Annie Hall) as Kay Adams, Talia Shire (Rocky) as Connie Corleone, and John Cazale (The Deer Hunter) as Fredo Corleone.

The Godfather Part II brings back Pacino, Duvall, Keaton, Shire, and Cazale, while adding Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) as young Vito Corleone, Lee Strasberg (…And Justice for All) as Hyman Roth, and Michael V. Gazzo (The Conversation) as Frankie Pentangeli.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.

03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
Advertisement
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Is There a New Godfather Sequel?
Next year, there will be. A new authorized novel, Connie, is set to arrive in fall 2027 and will follow Connie Corleone, the only daughter of Don Vito Corleone, in the first Godfather story told from a woman’s point of view. Written by bestselling author Adriana Trigiani, Connie has been approved by the estate of Mario Puzo and will become the first authorized Godfather book written by a woman. Connie was always the one character railing against the legacy of violence, trying to get as far away from it as possible, so she’s a fascinating topic for a new story set within the world of gangsters, horse’s heads, and, of course, cannolis. Can’t forget those.
The Godfather and The Godfather Part II begin streaming free on Pluto TV on June 29. Connie is scheduled for release in fall 2027.
