From Verona to New Zealand, These Lionsgate Play Titles Will Take You Around the World

From romantic escapades to high-stakes thrillers, these films let you see the world, one story at a time.

Not everyone can book a flight and hop across continents. But who says you need a boarding pass to experience the world? This World Tourism Day, Lionsgate Play — along with its partners PLDT Home, Smart, and Cignal Super — invites you to travel through the magic of cinema. From romantic cities and idyllic islands to mysterious villages and high-octane capitals, these films let you explore unforgettable destinations without ever leaving your couch.

Here are six movies that will take you places:

Letters to Juliet

While visiting Verona with her busy fiancé, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) stumbles upon the famous wall where the heartbroken leave notes to Shakespeare’s Juliet Capulet. Among them, she discovers a letter written in 1957 and decides to reply. Her answer sparks an unexpected journey for Claire (Vanessa Redgrave), the now-elderly author, who sets out to find her long-lost love with Sophie and her skeptical grandson (Christopher Egan) by her side. Set against sun-drenched vineyards and the romantic streets of Italy, Letters to Juliet is a heartfelt story of second chances and serendipity.

Midsommar

A group of friends travels to Sweden for a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival, only to find themselves caught up in unsettling rituals. What starts as a cultural experience slowly unravels into a haunting descent into horror. Equal parts breathtaking and terrifying, Midsommar is a chilling reminder that not every picture-perfect destination is what it appears to be.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Nicolas Cage plays… Nick Cage, an actor who reluctantly accepts a lucrative gig at a superfan’s lavish party in Mallorca. But when the CIA ropes him into an undercover mission, Cage must channel his most iconic roles to survive. With stunning views of Spain’s coastline and a hilariously self-aware plot, this action-comedy delivers thrills, laughs, and Mediterranean flair.

John Wick: Chapter 4

The legendary hitman (played by Keanu Reeves) is back, and this time, his fight for freedom takes him across continents. From sword-swinging duels in Osaka to pulse-pounding battles in Paris and high-stakes showdowns in the Middle East, John Wick: Chapter 4 blends world-class action with jaw-dropping global backdrops. For fans of adrenaline and adventure, it’s a cinematic journey to the world’s most electrifying cities.

The Requin

Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) and Kyle (James Tupper) head to a seaside villa in Vietnam for what should be a romantic holiday. But when a powerful storm destroys their retreat and strands them in open waters, the couple faces a new terror: great white sharks circling their fragile raft. With Kyle badly injured, Jaelyn is forced into a desperate fight for survival against both the sea and its predators. The Requin combines Vietnam’s natural beauty with raw, nail-biting suspense, proving paradise can sometimes be perilous.

Opération Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

Super-spy Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) is tasked with stopping the sale of a dangerous weapon. To do it, he recruits an unlikely ally — Hollywood actor Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) — and embarks on a mission that spans glamorous cities across the globe. With breathtaking backdrops from Doha to Madrid and plenty of slick action, Operation Fortune is a whirlwind of style, espionage, and globe-trotting fun.

This World Tourism Day, you don’t need flights or visas, just a comfy couch and Lionsgate Play.
