With Sony Pictures distributing the movie, we can speculate that Bad Boys 4 will be streaming in Australia on BINGE, Foxtel, and Foxtel Now after its theatrical run. 

Prior to being released on subscription streaming like BINGE, Sony Pictures will first release Bad Boys 4 on digital platforms, initially becoming available on pay per view like Apple TV, Prime Video Store, Google Play, and other similar services.

The original Bad Boys Mike (Smith) and Marcus (Lawrence) are back for another action adventure in Ride or Die, kick-started when their late police captain Conrad Howard (Joe Pantoliano) is accused of working with drug cartels. 

Determined to clear his name, they look into the corruption that dragged their captain’s name even after his death and suspect conspiracy within the Miami PD. But before they can find definite answers, Mike and Marcus are set up by sinister forces, making them fugitives. 

Despite the impossible odds stacked against them, Miami PD’s Bad Boys are notorious for being unstoppable, which is why they embark on a super dangerous mission to prove that their late captain isn’t corrupt, all while being pursued by both the authorities and their new enemies. 

Bad Boys 4 is directed by Adil & Bilall, the duo who also directed the previous film Bad Boys for Life. The fourth movie is written by Chris Bremner, Peter Craig, and Joe Carnahan and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Will Smith, and Doug Belgrad.
