Jamie Lee Curtis' Blue Steel Heads to Plex This March

Blue Steel, Kathryn Bigelow's 1990 thriller starring Jamie Lee Curtis, will be available to stream on Plex this March. The film follows Curtis as new NYPD officer Megan Turner, navigating a male-dominated force and facing opposition at every turn. Bigelow's direction gave the picture a distinct perspective, turning what could have been a by-the-books cop drama into a movie engaged with gender politics.

Critics awarded the film a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, "Blue Steel's increasingly over-the-top story beggars disbelief, but this cop drama is elevated by an appealing cast and Kathryn Bigelow's stylish direction." Meanwhile, Curtis noted the end of production on The Bear Season 5, posting "FINISHED STRONG!" and suggesting the series might conclude with the upcoming installment.

She added praise for the crew, writers, producers and scene partners who helped complete the story of the Berzatto family. Release details listed with the film include a March 16, 1990 release date and a 102-minute runtime.
