Agatha Christie's legacy continues to thrive across screens, from the upcoming BBC and Britbox Hercule Poirot series starring Edward Bluemel to Netflix's recent Seven Dials adaptation. But perhaps the most unexpected Christie-inspired film is an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle that swaps a remote island for a crime-ridden city. That movie is Sabotage, and it's leaving Netflix on July 1, 2026.
Released in 2014, Sabotage is a loose, unofficial adaptation of Christie's best-selling mystery And Then There Were None. In the original novel, a group of strangers is lured to an island and systematically killed. Director David Ayer (Fury, Suicide Squad) transported that premise into the world of DEA agents and cartel corruption. Schwarzenegger plays John 'Breacher' Wharton, a DEA team leader whose crew begins to die one by one after they steal millions during a cartel raid.
The film also stars Sam Worthington, Olivia Williams, Joe Manganiello, Mireille Enos, Josh Holloway, and Terrence Howard. Despite its star-studded cast, Sabotage underperformed at the box office, grossing just $22 million worldwide against a $35 million budget. Critics were harsh, giving it a 21% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus noting that Schwarzenegger's performance is wasted in a film driven by 'grueling violence that punishes seemingly without purpose.'
For fans of the action legend or curious viewers who want to see a Christie plot filtered through a gritty, modern lens, now is the time to stream it. The movie is currently available on Netflix but will be removed on July 1, 2026. After that, it may resurface on other platforms or remain in streaming limbo.
This isn't the only Christie-inspired project making waves. Netflix recently released Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, and an adaptation of Endless Knight is in the works. Meanwhile, the BBC and Britbox are developing a new Hercule Poirot series with Edward Bluemel taking over the iconic role from David Suchet, Peter Ustinov, and Kenneth Branagh.
