Like so many movies released in 2020, Max Winkler’s bare-knuckle boxing drama will enter the video on-demand arena looking to earn your rapturous applause. Which shouldn’t be too difficult, given it boasts a trio of astounding performances from Jack O’Connell, Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), and Jessica Barden. Below we list your VOD streaming options and detail how to watch Jungleland online.
Like the Bruce Springsteen song that provides the title, Jungleland is populated with “hungry and hunted” characters whose dreams of escaping their small-town American lives are repeatedly thwarted. O’Connell and Hunnam play siblings Lion and Stanley. Both live in poverty, squatting in an abandoned apartment and barely earning a crust at a sewing factory in Fall River, with Lion trapped in an endless cycle of bare-knuckle bouts ‘managed’ by his ex-con brother.

Indebted to a local gangster (Lovecraft Country’s Jonathan Majors) and increasingly desperate, they agree to transport a young girl called Sky to a nefarious crime boss on their way to ‘Jungleland’, a boxing match where the winner nets a life-changing $100,000. But, as they wind their way to San Francisco, the burgeoning relationship that develops between Sky (Jessica Barden, The End of the F***ing World) and Lion threatens to derail any chance of a happy ending.
Indebted to brooding classics of 70s cinema like Five Easy Pieces, this is a grittily real, atmospheric character drama with three knockout central performances. Fancy taking a swing? Then read on as we detail how to watch Jungleland online now.

How to watch Jungleland from outside your country
If you loved awards nominated dramas Warrior and The Fighter, then you’ll be eager to see the Charlie Hunnam starring Jungleland. Unfortunately, if you’re travelling outside of America for work or taking a well-deserved vacation, geo-blocking restrictions will prevent you from connecting to your preferred VOD platform and streaming new film Jungleland online.
Luckily, there’s a simple solution. Downloading a Virtual Private Network (VPN) will allow you to change your IP address: meaning you can access regionally specific content from wherever you are in the world.
