Mel Gibson's critically acclaimed 1995 historical drama Braveheart, which he directed and starred in as Scottish warrior William Wallace, will be leaving Netflix on March 1, 2026. The nearly 3-hour epic about the First War of Scottish Independence has been a must-see for fans of the genre, but time is running out to stream it on the platform.
Why it matters
Braveheart is considered one of the defining historical war films of the 1990s, earning multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director for Mel Gibson. As one of the last remaining major titles from that era still available to stream, its departure from Netflix marks the end of an era for fans of classic cinematic depictions of historical events.
The details
Braveheart follows the story of Sir William Wallace, a Scottish warrior who led the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England. The film features an ensemble cast including Angus Macfadyen, Sophie Marceau, Catherine McCormack, and Patrick McGoohan. After a decade-long break from filmmaking, Mel Gibson returned to directing in 2025 with Flight Risk, and he has two sequels to his 2004 religious epic The Passion of the Christ slated for release in 2027.
