What’s Coming to Pluto TV in February 2023, Including ‘The Defiant Ones’ and ‘Runaway Bride’

Pluto TV’s programming for February is concentrated on Valentine’s Day and Black History Month. The latter will feature an array of black movies and stars in various genres. Of special note, Feb. 20 is Sidney Poitier’s birthday, celebrated with some of his most notable movies, including “The Defiant Ones,” “Paris Blues,” and his Oscar-winning performance as Best Actor in “Lilies of the Field.”

“The Defiant Ones,” which also garnered an Oscar nomination for Poitier and his co-star Tony Curtis, is the dramatic story of two prisoners, one black, one white, shackled together in a Southern chain gang. Once they escape, despite their initial hatred, they must join forces to survive. And in time, they discover a love and respect for each other. The 1958 film, directed by Stanley Kramer, was critically acclaimed on release.

Valentine’s Day releases include “Runaway Bride,” starring Julia Roberts as a woman who left three grooms at the altar, and Richard Gere as the journalist covering her unusual behavior.

Check out “The Defiant Ones” trailer:

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free live TV streaming service that provides more than 350 channels of live TV and thousands of on demand movies and TV shows.

Most of what you’ll find on Pluto TV qualifies as “background television.” It’s fine to keep on while you’re scrolling on your phone or cooking something in the kitchen.

Because these aren’t traditional live TV channels, it’s not a great option for live events, news, or sports, but it’s a solid choice for cord cutters who want to supplement their other services with some “comfort food” TV. You’ll find channels dedicated to “Star Trek,” “CSI,” “Jersey Shore,” “Survivor,” and “The Amazing Race.”
