At Stream Tracker, we take a look at Zhang Yimou’s The Flowers of War — a harrowing wartime drama starring Christian Bale about a Westerner who poses as a priest to shelter a group of women in a church during the 1937 Nanking massacre. Rooted in themes of sanctuary, sacrifice and moral survival amid chaos, the film combines towering set pieces with intimate human drama. In this piece we’ll explain where the film is currently available to stream — including whether you can find it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ — and how availability can change by region. The Flowers of War was also chosen as China’s official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards.
