John Travolta’s Biggest Flop With 0% RT Score Is a New Free Streaming Hit

Movies based on real-life events are usually the ones to bring thousands of viewers to theatres, but with some of them something just doesn’t work properly — or doesn’t work at all.

What’s even more frustrating, many of those flops are often associated with big Hollywood names, and that’s exactly the case of a 2015 disaster movie that starred John Travolta and Sharon Stone in the leading roles.

Released with the most harsh reviews that critics could only give it, the film was soon forgotten, but at some point found a new home on a free streaming’s platform and is currently getting all the possible attention there.

Life on the Line Is a Major Hit on Tubi Now

Ironically, disaster movies which proved their genre choice and turned out to be a real box office disaster are many viewers’ frequent watch, and Life of the Line isn’t an exception.

The movie has been available for watching on Tubi for a while and has now spent several days as the platform’s number one film, which is a major win considering that, upon its release, Life on the Line couldn’t even dream of such heights.

Based on real events, the film stars John Travolta as Beau Ginner, Texas lineman who spent many years maintaining the electrical grid in the town and now has to risk it all, including his co-workers’ and his own life, to keep the greed running during a harsh storm.

There Has Never Been a Bigger Commercial & Critical Disaster Than Life on the Line

The movie that surely kept its creators’ hopes up due to a compelling story about real-life heroes eventually didn’t make it up for all the expenses. Released in theatres back in 2015, Life on the Line garnered less than $40.000 in the box office, having not made it even close to the film’s initial budget of $12 million.

What’s even worse, the movie got to be the opposite of the critical darling and received a score of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, though viewers did find something good in there, giving the film a rating of 36%.

That is probably the reason why Life on the Line is getting a second life on streaming now, proving that the audiences might still enjoy it after all the struggle the movie had with its critical non-acclaim.
