June is Pride Month (hooray!) and it’s also Month Two of the 2023 summer movie season (hooray?), so Prime Video is turning up the heat with a variety of features that honor Pride Month, as well as the blockbusters that have come to define summer. This month’s highlights include Air, the Ben Affleck-directed biographical sports drama about the Air Jordan basketball shoe, True Lies, starring Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ang Lee’s tragic gay romance Brokeback Mountain, and M3GAN, a future camp classic about a hostile AI-enhanced robot made to look like a little girl.

Air - Official Trailer (2023) Ben Affleck, Matt Damon

is a biographical sports drama directed by Ben Affleck about the origin of the Air Jordan line of sneakers. Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight in a film that also stars Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Viola Davis. The Amazon Studios production scored positive reviews from critics and pulled in over $89 million worldwide at the box office. Amazon decided to release the movie first in theaters instead of directly to Prime Video due to positive test screenings. But now you can watch a film about the creation of Air Jordans on Amazon while ordering a pair of Air Jordans on Amazon.
