Is the movie The 400 Blows available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
At Stream Tracker, we're taking a brief look at François Truffaut's landmark film The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups) and where you can watch it today — Netflix included. This raw, sun-drenched coming-of-age portrait follows Antoine Doinel as he navigates cramped Parisian classrooms, indifferent parents, scrapes with the law and, finally, a desperate flight toward the open sea. The film’s streets, schoolyards and freeze-frame finale remain touchstones of the French New Wave. Released in 1959, The 400 Blows earned Truffaut the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival and quickly became an international reference for cinéma vérité and youthful rebellion. In the article that follows, the Stream Tracker team checks current availability across Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV+ and explains how to stream or rent this modern classic.
