About Rear Window

Confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, professional photographer L.B. Jeffries becomes obsessed with observing his neighbors through his rear window. As he watches their daily routines, he begins to suspect that one of them, Lars Thorwald, has murdered his wife. With the help of his socialite girlfriend Lisa Fremont and his insurance company nurse Stella, Jeffries attempts to uncover the truth, facing danger and moral dilemmas along the way. Is Jeffries merely projecting his own fears and desires onto his neighbors, or has he truly witnessed a heinous crime?

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
