The Bad Batch is a 2016 American dystopian thriller film directed and written by Ana Lily Amirpour.

Giovanni Ribisi also stars.

The Bad Batch was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize. It received a limited release in theaters on June 23, 2017, in addition to streaming on Netflix.
