How to watch Road House 2024 – can you stream it?
Jake Gyllenhaal takes on the role played by Patrick Swayze in the original film.
A new version of the 1989 cult action film Road House has landed, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a former UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer in a rowdy Florida Keys roadhouse – a role portrayed by Patrick Swayze in the original version.
Gyllenhaal is joined by a cast that includes Lukas Gage, Daniela Melchior, Conor McGregor and Joaquim de Almeida.
The new film might share a title and premise with the original movie, but it makes several substantial changes.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com at a special preview screening in London about the intention behind these changes, You and Euphoria star Gage said: "I think that we weren't trying to copy too much of the original version. I think that that is so perfect and amazing as it is.
"We just wanted to, you know, do a couple of shout-outs, have some throwbacks [and] pay respect to that movie and to Patrick Swayze first and foremost, because he's a legend."

He added: "You know, we wanted to do him proud. And, obviously, if he was still around today, we would want to make him happy if he saw this movie."
