Just added to Netflix, these three highly-rated thrillers are perfect for a night in. If you’re a thriller fan searching for the latest and greatest on Netflix this February 2026, these movies are a great place to start.
Netflix added three new thriller movies on February 1, 2026, each with a unique twist. One blends thriller elements with science fiction, another combines it with a Western heist, and the third focuses on political warfare. They could easily be the most exciting movies you stream this month.
Ex Machina
Released in 2014, Ex Machina helped establish A24 as a leading force in independent American film. Written and directed by Alex Garland, who also made Civil War and 28 Days Later, it’s widely considered one of the most compelling films exploring the dangers of artificial intelligence in recent years.
Don’t miss this critically acclaimed film on Netflix, starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander. The movie centers on Caleb, a young programmer played by Gleeson, who wins a chance to be part of a revolutionary experiment hosted by Nathan, a brilliant but private tech CEO portrayed by Isaac.
Hell Or High Water
Before Taylor Sheridan became known for shows like Landman and Yellowstone, he wrote the critically acclaimed Western heist thriller Hell or High Water in 2016. The movie, starring Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster, and Chris Pine, earned four Academy Award nominations and is now available to stream on Netflix.
If you’re looking for a thrilling crime movie with a strong Western vibe, Hell or High Water is a top pick on Netflix. The film stars Chris Pine and Ben Foster as brothers who resort to robbing banks in West Texas to try and save their family ranch. Jeff Bridges delivers a great performance as the Texas Ranger determined to catch them.
Zero Dark Thirty
Kathryn Bigelow’s 2012 film, Zero Dark Thirty, followed her Oscar-winning success with The Hurt Locker. The movie stars Jeremy Renner and tells the story of the ten-year effort to find and kill Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, after the September 11th attacks, culminating in the raid by Navy SEAL Team 6 in May 2011.
With a strong cast including Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton, and Chris Pratt, Zero Dark Thirty is the most intense of these three thrillers, so it’s a good place to start. However, you can’t go wrong with any of these fantastic, Oscar-winning films – they’re all perfect for a binge-watching night on Netflix.
