Best new to Prime Video thriller movies this week
'Plane’ (2023)
Netflix subscribers were obsessed with "Plane" when it landed on the platform last summer, and now audiences on Prime Video can see whether it lives up to its 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. "Plane" stars Gerard Butler as Brodie Torrance, a former Royal Air Force pilot who's stuck in a desperate situation when a mid-air lightning strike forces him to land on a war-torn island.
Though he manages to land safely and save everyone on board, that relief is short-lived when local rebels start picking off passengers one by one. He must team up with a fugitive who was being transported on board ("Luke Cage's" Mike Colter) to save the rest of the survivors from the same gruesome fate.
Watch "Plane" on Prime Video from June 12
‘The Protégé' (2021)
Maggie Q and Michael Keaton have an electric chemistry in "The Protégé," an action thriller from James Bond director Martin Campbell that mixes globe-trotting action and espionage with a cat-and-mouse relationship between its two leads. After surviving a massacre as a child, Anna (Q) is trained by the legendary hitman Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) to become one of the world's deadliest assassins.
When her mentor winds up dead, she hunts down the people responsible and uncovers a conspiracy tied to a powerful figure from Moody's past. Her investigation also sends her on a collision course with fellow assassin Rembrandt (Keaton), who, even in his 70s, manages to keep pace with her in electrifyingly choreographed fight scenes.

‘The Debt' (2011)
"The Debt" is another well-crafted espionage thriller with a twist I honestly didn't see coming. Israeli Mossad agents Rachel Singer (Helen Mirren), David Peretz (Ciarán Hinds ), and Stefan Gold (Tom Wilkinson) are celebrated as national heroes for a daring mission to capture a Nazi war criminal in the 1960s, but the sanitized PR version may not be the whole story.
The trio cross paths again when Rachel's daughter publishes a book about their exploits, an uneasy reunion that reveals what actually went down in 1965 was not what they told the world. Through flashbacks, younger versions of the trio portrayed by Jessica Chastain, Sam Worthington, and Marton Csokas show how sideways the mission actually went, and how they've been haunted by guilt ever since.
