Movies that feel like The Weight (2026)
When Samuel is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal prison, Warden Clancy offers him a high-stakes proposition: smuggle gold out of a remote mine with a dangerous crew of prisoners and he’ll win his freedom.
If you loved The Weight, the closest films we have are Hyena (2015), Elize: Shadows of a Woman (2026) and The Silence (2010). All three share The Weight's contemplative and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Across 110th Street (1972).

When is The Weight streaming? →If The Weight hit the spot, these will too
Contemplative where it counts, tense underneath
Drama with a pulse of grit, in both cases
Contemplative thriller in both cases
Tense crime, and it commits to that
Thriller built on stillness, twice over
From the 2010s, and it lands the same way
Both play thriller straight
Cut from the same crime cloth
Both working the same drama territory
