About The Impossible
The Impossible is available on Netflix in Spain, and Spain is the only country among the 56 tracked regions where the film appears on the service. This means viewers outside Spain will not find it on their local Netflix library. For those in the United States, the film can instead be watched via Angel Studios or the Lionsgate+ Amazon Channel. In Germany, it is offered through the Arthouse CNMA Amazon Channel or the Lionsgate+ Amazon Channel. Australian viewers can stream it on Stan. The film, a 2012 drama-thriller, is therefore accessible through alternative paid channels in these three markets, while Spanish subscribers have the convenience of watching it directly on Netflix. No other tracked regions were listed with either Netflix availability or alternative streaming options, so coverage outside Spain, the US, Germany, and Australia remains unverified in this dataset.
Availability re-verified 2026-08-15 against licensed streaming data.
In December 2004, close-knit family Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand. But the day after Christmas, the idyllic holiday turns into an incomprehensible nightmare when a terrifying roar rises from the depths of the sea, followed by a wall of black water that devours everything in its path. Though Maria and her family face their darkest hour, unexpected displays of kindness and courage ameliorate their terror.
