To download Film Plus on Firestick, you must sideload the app by enabling developer options and using the Downloader app, which allows Firestick to download from unknown sources. This process gives you access to a free streaming app for movies and TV shows, but it carries legal and security risks that require a VPN and careful consideration before proceeding.
Before you begin: risks and requirements for downloading Film Plus on Firestick
Film Plus is a third-party streaming application not available on the official Amazon Appstore or Google Play Store. Using Film Plus to access copyrighted content is illegal in most countries and carries potential legal risks. Installing unverified third-party APKs like Film Plus also carries security risks, including potential malware or crypto-mining code. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is highly recommended when using Film Plus to protect online activity and enhance security. Basic requirements for installation include an Android device with Android 5.0+, approximately 200 MB of storage, and 2GB RAM (4GB+ recommended).
Step 1: Enable developer options and apps from unknown sources
- From the Firestick home screen, go to Settings > My Fire TV (or Device & Software on older models) > About.
- Click on Fire TV Stick (or your device name) seven times until a message confirms "You are now a developer". This enables the hidden Developer Options menu.
- Go back to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options > Apps from Unknown Sources and turn it ON.
This two-part process is essential for setting up a Firestick to accept installations from outside the Amazon Appstore. Enabling "Apps from Unknown Sources" is the key step that will allow Firestick to download from unknown sources like the Film Plus APK.
Step 2: Install the Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore
- On the Firestick home screen, select the Search icon (magnifying glass) in the top-left corner.
- Type Downloader using the on-screen keyboard and select it from the search results.
- Choose the official Downloader app by AFTVnews and click Download (or Get) to install it from the Amazon Appstore.
- Once installed, click Open to launch the app.
Step 3: Download the Film Plus APK with a code or URL
- Launch the Downloader app.
- In the URL bar at the top of the screen, enter the verified short code 3300326 or the URL firesticktricks.com/fp.
- Click Go (or Load) to initiate the download of the Film Plus APK file.
Step 4: Install Film Plus and delete the APK file
- Once the download completes, the APK installer screen will appear automatically. Click Install to begin installation.
- After installation, click Done (not Open) to return to the Downloader app.
- In Downloader, select the Delete option to remove the Film Plus APK file from your device, freeing up storage space.
Step 5: Open Film Plus and start streaming safely
- From the Firestick home screen, navigate to Your Apps & Channels and locate Film Plus.
- Select the Film Plus icon to launch the app.
- Before streaming any content, connect your VPN to protect your online activity and enhance security.
Film Plus is a free streaming app that provides access to movies and TV shows, but it does not host content itself; it aggregates links from other websites. Always use a VPN when streaming to mitigate legal and security risks.
