Every movie in the TMDB catalog has a dedicated detail page that brings together everything you need to know about a film in one place. From the opening backdrop image and tagline down to the full production credits, the detail page is designed so you can decide whether a film is worth your time, learn more about the people who made it, and find your next watch once you’re done. This page is built from community-contributed data verified against official sources and updated continuously.

​
Page overview

When you open a movie’s detail page, the top section presents the most essential at-a-glance information:
  • Backdrop image — a wide cinematic still used as the page hero, sourced from official promotional materials
  • Poster — the primary one-sheet artwork displayed alongside the metadata
  • Title — the localized title for your region, with the original title shown below when it differs
  • Tagline — the official marketing tagline for the film, when available
  • Overview — a full synopsis describing the film’s plot without major spoilers
  • Release date — the theatrical release date for your region, or the earliest worldwide release date
  • Runtime — total running time in hours and minutes
  • Genres — clickable genre tags (for example, Thriller, Science Fiction, Drama)
  • Spoken languages — the primary languages used in the film’s dialogue
  • Production companies — the studios and production houses that made the film, with their logos when available

Detailed sections

The TMDB score reflects the community’s collective opinion of the film. It is calculated from votes submitted by registered TMDB users and is displayed as a percentage (for example, 85%) alongside the raw vote count.
  • Score percentage — the vote average converted to a 0–100 scale, color-coded green (high), yellow (mid), or red (low)
  • Vote count — the total number of user ratings that contribute to the score, shown in parentheses
  • User score vs critic score — TMDB displays the community score only; for critical consensus, TMDB links out to external review aggregators when a match is found
A film needs a minimum number of votes before a score is displayed, preventing titles with very few ratings from appearing artificially high or low.
The cast section lists the actors credited in the film, ordered by billing. Each cast entry shows:
  • Profile photo — the actor’s TMDB profile image
  • Actor name — links to their full people profile page
  • Character name — the name of the role they play in the film
The displayed cast defaults to the top-billed actors. A “Full Cast” button expands the list to every credited performer.The crew section is grouped by department (Directing, Writing, Production, Camera, and so on). Key crew members surfaced at the top include:
  • Director — the film’s credited director or co-directors
  • Screenplay / Story — the writers credited for the script and source material
  • Producer / Executive Producer — the producing credits
Click any name in the cast or crew list to open that person’s full profile, which includes their biography and complete filmography.
The trailers section aggregates official video content for the film, pulled from YouTube and other sources. Videos are categorized by type:
  • Trailer — the primary theatrical or teaser trailer
  • Teaser — shorter promotional clips released ahead of the main trailer
  • Clip — excerpts from the finished film
  • Featurette — behind-the-scenes and making-of content
  • Behind the Scenes — extended production footage
Videos are displayed as thumbnail cards. Click any thumbnail to open the video in an inline player without leaving the page. The most recent official trailer is promoted to the top of the list. If no video content is available for a title, this section is hidden.
At the bottom of every movie detail page you will find two rows of related content:
  • Recommendations — titles that TMDB’s algorithm suggests based on genre, themes, cast overlap, and what other users who viewed this film also viewed. Recommendations are personalized when you are signed in.
  • Similar movies — titles that share genre tags and general thematic elements with the current film, useful for finding movies in the same style or genre family.
Each card in these rows shows the poster, title, release year, and TMDB score. Clicking any card navigates directly to that film’s detail page.Use the horizontal scroll on each row to browse all recommendations without leaving the current page.
