The star-packed drama film In the Hand of Dante, featuring Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Gerard Butler, and Al Pacino, is preparing for its digital debut. After premiering at the Venice Film Festival and a short run in theaters, the movie is coming to Netflix very soon. Here is everything you need to know about when and where to watch this literary thriller online.
Netflix Premiere Date
In the Hand of Dante will begin streaming on Netflix from June 24, 2026. This release follows a limited theatrical run that started on June 12, 2026 in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The film arrives on the platform just days after its cinema debut, making it easy for global audiences to watch it from home. For viewers in India, the film will also be available on Netflix starting the same day, June 24. For USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and other regions, the release is synchronized on the streaming platform.
What Is the Movie About?
The film is based on Nick Tosches’ 2002 novel of the same name. It tells two parallel stories that connect across time.
One story follows a modern-day New York writer named Nick Tosches, played by Oscar Isaac. He gets pulled into a dangerous job for the mafia. He is asked to check if a manuscript is real—a copy of Dante’s The Divine Comedy written in the poet’s own hand. He must steal it.
The other story takes place in the 14th century. It follows the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, also played by Oscar Isaac, as he creates his famous work. The two men are linked by their search for love, beauty, and meaning, though they never meet.
Director Julian Schnabel, known for films like The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, directed the movie. The script mixes historical fiction, crime, and drama.
Who Is in the Cast?
The movie has a very strong cast. Besides Oscar Isaac and Gal Gadot, the film features a lineup of famous actors. Gerard Butler plays a character named Louie. John Malkovich appears as Joe Black. Jason Momoa is in the film as Rosario, and Al Pacino plays Uncle Carmine.
In a special appearance, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese acts in the film as Isaiah, Dante’s mentor. Franco Nero, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Benjamin Clementine also have key roles. Many cast members play characters in both the modern and historical storylines.
The movie was produced by a team including Jon Kilik, Olmo Schnabel, and Vito Schnabel. Martin Scorsese and Oscar Isaac also served as executive producers.

The film had its world premiere out of competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2025. It received a theatrical release in limited cinemas before its streaming debut.
