Two of Hollywood’s most renowned artists, Denzel Washington and Spike Lee, are collaborating again for the first time in almost two decades with Lee’s latest film, Highest 2 Lowest, premiering in theaters this weekend.
Highest 2 Lowest is Lee’s contemporary, American adaptation of the classic 1963 Japanese crime movie, Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low, which centers on a wealthy businessman who is held for ransom when a criminal informs him that his son has been kidnapped. The catch? The kidnapper mistakenly took his chauffeur’s son instead. Whoops!
In this modern reimagining, Washington takes on the role of David King, a prosperous music mogul, while frequent Lee collaborator Ilfenesh Hadera portrays his on-screen spouse, Pam King. The film also features Jeffrey Wright, ASAP Rocky, and Ice Spice. Highest 2 Lowest has garnered positive reviews from critics and is anticipated to be a contender in this year’s awards season. This marks the first Lee and Washington collaboration since 2006’s Inside Man, so it’s a must-see.

Where to watch the new Denzel Washington movie Highest 2 Lowest:
Right now, the only place to watch Highest 2 Lowest is in a movie theater, when the film opens in select U.S. theaters on August 15. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. That said, if you don’t feel like going to the theater, Highest 2 Lowest will also be available to watch on streaming on Apple TV+ very soon.
When will Highest 2 Lowest be streaming on Apple TV+?
The Highest 2 Lowest Apple TV+ release date is September 5, 2025. Beginning on Friday, September 5, you’ll be able to stream Highest 2 Lowest free on Apple TV+, with an Apple TV+ subscription.
Apple TV+ comes with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers and has just one ad-free streaming plan available for $9.99/month.
Highest 2 Lowest is being co-released by Apple TV+ and A24, so the film will be getting an Oscar-qualifying three-week run in theaters before it will be available on streaming on Apple TV+. This is similar to other A24 and Apple co-releases, like Sharper, Causeway, and The Tragedy of Macbeth.
That said, we have a feeling this movie might be one you want to see on the big screen. If that’s the case, don’t hesitate to see Highest 2 Lowest in theaters, because it won’t be staying in theaters for long.
