It’s the fourth installment in the popular dystopian franchise.
Looking for something decent to watch this Tuesday (22 March) evening?
Well, Disney+ has just quietly added 17 big movies to its library which you can read about here.
If none of these are for you, however, here’s what’s on the telly tonight.
xXx – Film4 – 9pm
In the first entry in the action trilogy, Vin Diesel plays a thrill-seeking extreme sports athlete turned reluctant spy.

One of those films that seems to just air on TV perpetually.
Meet the Fockers – Comedy Central – 9pm
Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman join Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro in this comedy sequel.
Awakenings – Great! Movies Classic – 9pm
Speaking of De Niro, he stars again alongside Robin Williams in this critically-acclaimed drama about a doctor’s work in the ’60s with a group of catatonic patients he treats in a New York hospital.
It’s Complicated – RTÉ2 – 9.35pm
When brought together at a family event, two exes (Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep) find themselves oddly attracted to each other after 10 years of divorce.

Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford star in what’s considered as one of the great romantic films.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge – BBC One – 11.30pm
The one with Javier Bardem.
The First Purge – Film4 – 11.35pm
For a horror franchise, The Purge has a pretty intriguing hook – what if for 12 hours a year all crime was legal?
After three movies plunging viewers into a near-future America where this is true, this confusingly-titled if solid prequel sheds light on how such a tradition came to be.
Mad Max 2 – ITV4 – 11.40pm
