What Time Will ‘Locked Down’ Be on HBO Max?

Taylor Swift may have written two albums in quarantine, but when it comes to COVID-19 accomplishments, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway may have the popstar beat in their new HBO Max original movie, Locked Down. Directed by Doug Liman and written by Steven Knight, this romantic comedy heist stars Ejiofor and Hathaway as a couple quarantining together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their relationship is coming apart at the seams—until Hathway’s character, Linda, has the brilliant idea to stage a jewelry heist at the Harrods department store in London.

It’s the kind of coronavirus storyline that actually has a plot, and who doesn’t love to see Anne Hathaway in a heist movie? Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Locked Down on HBO Max, including the release date, release time, and more.
