Water for Elephants

Description

Water for Elephants places a forbidden romance inside a Depression-era traveling circus. Robert Pattinson plays veterinary student Jacob Jankowski, whose care for the animals draws him toward performer Marlena, played by Reese Witherspoon, and into conflict with her volatile husband August, played by Christoph Waltz.

Current U.S. availability is transactional rather than subscription-based. Viewers can rent or purchase the film from digital stores, but no included subscription or legitimate free-streaming option was verified during this review.
