8 Great Action Movies on Hulu Right Now (May 2025)

Rebecca Ferguson had a star-making turn in the fifth M: I movie, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, as former MI6 agent Ilsa Faust. Is it any wonder that Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) seems like he’s a little in love with her? She’s the one woman in the films who can match Ethan’s penchant for danger and insane stunts.

Rogue Nation introduces the pair while Ethan is on the run and Ilsa is undercover in The Syndicate, a network of former intelligence operatives who turned to crime and terrorism. CIA Director Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin) didn’t believe Ethan’s report about The Syndicate and blamed their crimes on him. That may be why Ethan has such an affinity for Ilsa. Her government left her out on a limb with seemingly no way back to her old life. She and Ethan may need each other more than they want to admit.

Matthew Vaughn directed and co-wrote Kingsman: The Secret Service, a spy action comedy that intentionally invokes some of the flair of James Bond’s early adventures. Colin Firth stars as Harry Hart, a veteran agent of the independent intelligence service known as Kingsman. Harry has a soft spot for Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton), the son of a former Kingsman agent who needs a new direction in his life.

As Eggsy is recruited and trained to become a new member of Kingsman, Harry uncovers a wild scheme by billionaire Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) that might wipe out most of humanity in the name of saving the planet. Even Kingsman isn’t immune to Valentine’s reach, which means Eggsy is going to get his trial by fire whether he wants it or not.

Many of Uncharted’s best action scenes were directly lifted from the video games that inspired the film. Unsurprisingly, those sequences work really well in live-action blockbusters like this one. The MCU’s Spider-Man, Tom Holland, stars as Nathan Drake, an orphan who is recruited by treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) with the promise of a potential fortune and a lead in tracking down Nate’s missing brother, Sam (Rudy Pankow).

Nate and Sully soon find themselves in a race to beat millionaire Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) to the treasure of a lifetime. There’s a team of mercenaries under Santiago’s command, and they’re more than willing to kill Nate and Sully if they stand between them and the treasure.

Even among action comedies, Bullet Train is uncommonly funny. A lot of the credit for that has to go to Brad Pitt’s hysterical performance as an aging assassin codenamed Ladybug. He’s had enough killing for one lifetime, but he’s stuck on a super-fast bullet train in Japan with several other assassins — some of whom really want Ladybug dead.

The irony is that Ladybug wasn’t even supposed to be on the train. He’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not that the other killers are going to care when it’s a choice between their survival or Ladybug’s life.

Most of the modern Planet of the Apes movies are currently MIA on Hulu, but the most recent installment, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, is an impressive sci-fi action flick in its own right. The story follows Noa (Owen Teague), a young chimpanzee from the Eagle tribe who was born hundreds of years after the death of Caesar.

The tyrant ape Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand) has taken apes and humans alike as his slaves, including Noa’s tribe. To free his people, Noa has to work with Mae (Freya Allan), a human girl who may not be a trustworthy ally.

Every Predator movie is currently streaming on Hulu, but the standalone prequel Prey brings a welcome modern touch to the classic franchise. In 1719, Naru (Amber Midthunder) is a young Comanche woman who yearns to be a warrior like her brother. But the rest of the tribe has no time or patience for Naru’s ambitions.

When a primitive Predator (Dane DiLiegro) arrives, the men in Naru’s tribe are easy targets for the intergalactic hunter. To stop this threat, Naru has to succeed where the other warriors failed. When fighting this Predator, there is no room for error.

Certain aspects of True Lies wouldn’t fly with today’s audience, including its stereotypical depiction of Arab terrorists. But this may be the funniest action movie that James Cameron has ever directed. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Harry Tasker, one of America’s top super spies. The price of Harry’s success is that his marriage to Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) is rapidly falling apart.

Harry’s attempt to save his relationship with Helen puts both of them in danger as terrorists attempt to strike on American soil. But there’s rarely a problem that Harry can’t solve with a stern glare as well as swift and blinding violence.

Aliens was only James Cameron’s second movie with a big budget, and he confidently transformed the horror of the original Alien into an all-time classic sci-fi action adventure. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) survived the events of the first movie, only to learn that she spent decades in stasis and doesn’t have any family left.

Without any other prospects, Ripley accompanies a team of space marines to a colony on LV-426. Even Ripley is stunned by the scope of the Xenomorph infestation waiting for them there. These creatures are heavily resistant to conventional weapons and Ripley’s allies are dropping like flies around her.
