- How to watch Matt Damon's new movie The Instigators for free
The Instigators is streaming now.
Matt Damon is back in the heist movie genre with The Instigators, which is now available to watch on Apple TV+.
Also starring Casey Affleck and The Menu star Hong Chau, the movie follows a desperate father and an ex-con who plan to steal money from a corrupt politician. However, the heist doesn't go as planned, and they see themselves pursued both by police and a handful of vengeful crime bosses.
Inside Out 2 star Paul Walter Hauser, Mission: Impossible's Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Michael Stuhlbarg, Toby Jones, Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman complete the cast.
You can watch The Instigators for free by taking advantage of an Apple TV+ seven-day free trial, which will give you access to the film and all other content on the platform (and before you commit, why not check out why we've placed Apple TV+ in our best streaming services list?)

You can cancel the Apple TV+ free trial at any time, but if you wish to continue your subscription after the seven days, you'll pay the usual price of £8.99 per month.
There are other ways to enjoy Apple TV+, as the streamer is included when buying an Apple product such as an iPhone, iPad or MacBook.
If you're looking for longer free trials, there are some options too. Apple One bundles a collection of Apple services such as Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple News+ together for £18.95 a month, with a one-month free trial.
Mobile network EE and a Sky VIP customers also offer six months of Apple TV+ free, while Barclaycard holders can also take advantage of five months of Apple TV+ free.

The Instigators is directed by Doug Liman, who is reuniting with Matt Damon over two decades after The Bourne Identity.
With this movie, Damon also marks a new collaboration with Ben Affleck, who is producing the movie. It's the latest in a long-standing partnership (and friendship) between the two Hollywood stars, which included their Oscar-winning script for Good Will Hunting and recent movies like Air.
Damon is experienced in the heist movie genre after his celebrated role as Linus Caldwell in the Ocean's trilogy, alongside George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
It seems like this new movie won't be as beloved as Steven Soderbergh's classic, though, as The Instigators has landed a disappointing Rotten Tomatoes rating of 43% (from 82 reviews).
The Instigators is available to watch now on Apple TV+.
