Yes — multiple movies are titled "Rust." The best‑known in recent years is the American Western directed by Joel Souza and produced/starring Alec Baldwin, a production that was widely reported because cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on set in October 2021; that film later premiered at Camerimage in November 2024 and saw a limited U.S. theatrical/VOD release in May 2025 (Rust (2024 film) overview)).
Other unrelated films share the title: Corbin Bernsen wrote and directed a drama called "Rust" released direct‑to‑video in 2010, and a Brazilian drama titled "Ferrugem" (English title: "Rust") played at Sundance in 2018 (Rust (2010 film) details), Rust (2018 film) at Sundance)). The 2024/25 American production generated extensive legal and safety coverage — including fines, lawsuits, and settlements — which is why searches for the word "Rust" often return news about that incident as well as basic film listings (AP News on settlement, CBS News on fines and safety report).
