The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is the world's most popular and comprehensive online database for information related to films, television programs, and video games. Launched in 1990, IMDb has grown from a fan-created collection of filmographies to a professional resource used by industry professionals and movie lovers alike.
IMDb is an invaluable resource for:
IMDb organizes information around individual titles and people. A title page may include its original and localized names, release year, genres, runtime, content rating, production countries, languages, companies, filming locations, and alternative titles. Cast and crew credits connect titles to actors, directors, writers, producers, composers, and other professionals, while episode pages provide season and episode details for television series.
Additional sections can include plot summaries, keywords, parental guidance, awards, release information, technical specifications, external links, trivia, quotes, goofs, reviews, ratings, images, and videos. The exact amount of information varies by title, and older or less widely known productions may have fewer details.
IMDb ratings are based on votes submitted by registered users. The displayed rating is not simply the public average; IMDb applies its own weighting methods to reduce manipulation and produce a more representative result. Ratings can be useful for comparing audience interest, but they should be considered alongside the number of votes, written reviews, and other sources.
Some IMDb content is contributed or corrected by users and industry professionals. Submitted changes are reviewed before publication, which helps the database grow while maintaining a consistent structure. Because records can change over time, applications that use IMDb-related data should be prepared for updated titles, credits, images, and release information.
IMDb is accessible through a website (www.imdb.com) and mobile apps (iOS and Android). It’s free to use, with the option to subscribe to IMDbPro for enhanced features.
