What’s New on Peacock in April 2025
‘Red Eye’ (2005)
The late Wes Craven helmed Red Eye, a thriller that helped propel Rachel McAdams forward as a leading actress. Lisa is a hotel manager who finds herself increasingly attracted to Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy), a charming man she met at the airport before they were seated together on the plane.
Lisa’s dreams of rom-com happiness are quickly thwarted when Jackson reveals his true agenda during their red-eye flight. He intends to force Lisa to help him assassinate a government official. And if she refuses, her father, Joe Reisert (Brian Cox), will be murdered. Lisa’s a resourceful woman and fights back, but Jackson seems to have thought of every contingency.

‘Dark Waters’ (2019)
If you’ve ever seen Erin Brockovich, you’ll recognize a lot of the themes in Dark Waters, which is also based on a true story about a class action lawsuit against one of the most powerful companies in America. In this case, it’s DuPont that stands accused by residents of Parkersburg, West Virginia, of dumping a chemical that caused cancer in the town’s residents and deformed livestock.

Attorney Rob Bilott (Mark Ruffalo) is brought into the case by a farmer, Wilbur Tennant (Bill Camp), and Tennant’s findings are critical to the case against DuPont. But unlike some other biopic legal dramas, DuPont drags out the case for years, leaving Rob’s marriage to Sarah Barlage Bilott (Anne Hathaway) in a very vulnerable state. DuPont’s legal strategy appears to be designed to avoid the company being taken to task for its actions. But as long as Rob can stand up in court, he’s not going to let that happen.

‘Hot Tub Time Machine’ (2010)
It seems like films with on-the-nose titles like Hot Tub Time Machine are rarities among modern theatrical movies. In this case, the high concept helped sell the film and made it a hit. John Cusack stars as Adam Yates, a recently dumped middle-aged guy who reunites with his childhood friends, Lou Dorchen (Rob Corddry) and Nick Webber-Agnew (Craig Robinson), for a vacation at their favorite winter resort so they can forget their unhappy lives. Even Adam’s nephew, Jacob Yates (Clark Duke), comes along for the trip.
One ill-advised hot tub accident later, the four men wake up in 1986. Aside from Jacob, the guys are back in their childhood bodies and ready to make up for lost time. But if they don’t maintain the shape of their personal history, they run the risk of entirely erasing the future they came from.
