Jagged Edge (1985) starring Glenn Close & Jeff Bridges now streaming on Pluto TV

Forty years after its premiere, MovieWeb reported Feb. 2, 2026, that the 1985 psychological erotic thriller Jagged Edge, starring Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges, has landed on Pluto TV.

Written by Joe Eszterhas and directed by Richard Marquand, Jagged Edge follows Jack Forrester (Bridges), accused of murdering his socialite wife, and defense attorney Teddy Barnes (Close), who begins to fall for her client while questioning whether he is innocent or a killer. The film opened Oct. 4, 1985.

Jagged Edge grossed $40 million against a $10 million budget and helped set the blueprint for late-80s and early-90s erotic thrillers. MovieWeb notes the film’s prestige casting and that Robert Loggia earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

The film holds a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been called everything from "expertly conceived and executed" to a "slick and manipulative" thriller; Roger Ebert described it as "supremely effective." MovieWeb highlights the movie’s shock twist and says the final five minutes are particularly anxiety-inducing, without spoiling the reveal.

MovieWeb recommends checking Jagged Edge on Pluto TV now; according to the article, the title "just arrived on Pluto TV this month," so viewers can add it to their watchlist there.
