Collision Course starts streaming only on Netflix on Friday, October 30, 2026, dropping worldwide at the service’s usual rollout time of midnight Pacific—3:00 a.m. Eastern. You do not need anything beyond a Netflix subscription, which in the US runs $8.99 a month with ads, $19.99 for ad-free Standard, or $26.99 for Premium.
Here is the catch worth flagging up front for American viewers: this is a Spanish-language film (original title Colisión), so it arrives with English subtitles and a dubbed track. If you have been burned before by assuming a splashy Netflix thriller is in English, set your expectations—and your audio settings—accordingly.
When does Collision Course come out?
All at once, as a single feature film, on October 30, 2026. Because Netflix releases new titles globally on the same calendar date, the US gets it the same day as every other market. Netflix’s standard new-release clock is midnight Pacific Time, which means:
- Pacific: 12:00 a.m. PT, Friday, October 30
- Eastern: 3:00 a.m. ET, Friday, October 30
If it is not on your home screen the moment you check, give the app a refresh—regional listings can take a few minutes to populate after the global drop.
Where to watch it
Collision Course is a Netflix original, so Netflix is the only place to stream it in the US. It is not available to rent or buy on other platforms, and it is not screening in US theaters. Any Netflix plan—including the cheapest ad-supported tier—includes it at no extra charge.
What is Collision Course about?
Set at the height of Spain’s financial crisis, the film follows a crew that storms a bank in Madrid. What looks at first like a straightforward robbery curdles into a game of deception, fear and survival, where every decision carries weight and no one in the room is quite who they claim to be. The tension comes less from the heist mechanics than from the crew turning on itself as the situation slips out of control—a pressure-cooker thriller using the robbery as a mirror for a country coming apart.
That premise—a high-stakes robbery staged against a specific moment of national economic panic—puts the film in conversation with the wave of Spanish crime stories that have traveled well on Netflix. The hook here is distrust: as the plan unravels, the question stops being whether the crew can get out with the money and becomes whether any of them can trust the person standing next to them. The film leans on that uncertainty rather than on action set pieces, which is a deliberate choice for a story about people whose desperation is rooted in a real-world collapse.
What to expect
If you came in expecting a slick, propulsive caper, calibrate: this is billed as a nervier, character-driven take on the heist, where the social backdrop matters as much as the vault. The crisis setting is not window dressing—it is the reason these people are in a bank with masks on in the first place, and the film treats the robbery as a symptom of a larger breakdown. For US viewers who have made hits of Spain’s more morally tangled crime stories, that is the appeal: motive and mistrust doing the heavy lifting that a chase sequence might elsewhere.
Who is in the cast?
The ensemble is stacked with winners of the Goya Awards, Spain’s highest film honor: Laia Costa, Karra Elejalde, Luis Zahera, Tamar Novas, Álvaro Cervantes and Lluís Homar. For US audiences who have worked through Netflix’s Spanish-language catalog, Zahera (The Beasts) and Costa are familiar, high-caliber draws.
Who made it?
Collision Course is the first thriller from director Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, previously known for intimate dramas and comedies such as DarkBlueAlmostBlack and Cousinhood. The pivot was a conscious one: Arévalo has said a producer asked whether he wanted to try a different genre, and he agreed without hesitation, describing the goal as building “a perfect rollercoaster” of action, suspense and reversals. He also co-wrote the script with Ramón Campos, the film’s executive producer.
It is produced by Bambú Producciones, a Spanish company that has been a fixture of the country’s prestige television and film for well over a decade and a reliable supplier of Netflix’s high-end Spanish slate. That pedigree is part of why the project draws attention beyond Spain: the platform has leaned hard into premium Spanish-language productions in recent years, several of which have broken out into global hits, and this is positioned as another entry in that run.
Is it a movie or a series?
A movie. Unlike many of Netflix’s Spanish hits, which arrive as multi-episode series, Collision Course is a self-contained feature—one sitting, no weekly wait.
