How to watch Thieves Highway online? Streaming options explained

Thieves Highway is an action thriller film completely based on old west-style filmography. Director Jesse V. Johnson explores the present-day cattle raiding, or cattle rustling. He states this as a multi-million dollar crime industry. The theme of the film is vaguely acquired from real-life crimes of cattle theft.

Aaron Eckhart stars as the lead of the film, who is shown as an official working for the agricultural department of Oklahoma. The movie portrays real-life problems that are faced by many people living in the western part of America.

The working style of a "cow cop" is not the same as that of a regular urban cop.

What is Thieves Highway all about?

Thieves Highway revolves around the lead character, Frank Bennet (played by Aaron Eckhart). He is the stock detective, or a "cow cop", as they call it. Frank and his partner Bill confront a gang of raiders far away from town. Bill gets killed in crossfire, and Frank's car gets wrecked.

Now Frank is stranded in the wilderness and has to pursue the gang on foot. The organization of criminals is led by Jones. He is a sociopathic and crude ex-military man. Frank has no signal or backup to follow. He must stop the gang from shipping stolen cattle, worth millions of dollars. Frank cannot wait for backup, as the stakes are very high.

Frank gets acquainted with a hermit named Aksel. He surprisingly helps Frank fight the gang. Peggy, a local waitress, also rides along on the journey.

The film shows an emotional and ethical rise from one soul to do what's right and sets a very neo-western mood for the audience to experience the same. The film answers whether he stops the gang or dies trying.

Thieves Highway finds its home on various streaming platforms on VOD, starting December 16, 2025.
