At Stream Tracker, we're taking a close look at Tommy Lee Jones's 2005 border western The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada — a spare, haunting tale of loyalty, burial rites and cold-blooded justice, as Pete Perkins drags a corpse and the kidnapped officer across the desert in a slow, stubborn horseback caravan to keep a solemn promise. The film earned Jones the Best Actor prize at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. In this piece we'll check where the movie is currently streaming — whether you can find it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+ — and what to know about regional availability.

After a cocky Texas border agent kills and secretly buries his ranch hand and close friend Melquiades Estrada, Pete Perkins is driven to fulfill a promise to lay him to rest in his native Mexican village.
