View and upload trailers
A trailer is a clip composed of a few movie scenes that is used to promote a movie or TV film. Since we want to provide film enthusiasts with as much information as possible, omdb also offers the option of embedding or viewing a trailer for a movie.
View trailers
If one or more trailers for the film have already been uploaded, these are displayed on the right-hand side of the page in the TRAILER info box with one or more play buttons. After clicking on the respective play button, a new page opens in which the trailer is played.
