How to download for offline viewing:
On each platform, after purchasing/renting, use their official app (e.g., Apple TV app, Amazon Prime Video app) to download the video file to your device. These files are encrypted and can only be played within that app.
If you want a permanent, DRM-free copy, you’ll need to buy the Blu-ray or DVD and rip it yourself using software like MakeMKV — which is legal for personal backup in many jurisdictions.

“Hine new” might refer to a fan-made restoration mod: The game was notoriously buggy.

You can download this patch separately and apply it to the GOG version.
A: Fan sites like TRF (Tomb Raider Forums) offer mods for Tomb Raider: Legend or Underworld that import the 2001 movie model. Download from Nexus Mods (safe).
