Is the movie Napoleon available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, here’s a quick intro to Abel Gance’s 1927 epic Napoleon and whether you can find it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+. A towering silent panorama of ambition, battles and broken crowns, the film traces the meteoric rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte through the fevered, volatile prism of his relationship with Josephine — all staged with bold montage, sweeping panoramas and cinematic invention that still feels like a campaign across the screen. Napoleon predates the Academy Awards (the first Oscars were handed out in 1929) and therefore won no Oscars, but it’s widely regarded as a landmark of silent cinema, celebrated in restorations and festival retrospectives. In the article that follows, we’ll check current streaming options — including whether Netflix hosts a restored cut — and point you to the best way to watch this monumental piece of film history.
