Purchased and downloaded Apple TV movies won’t play in absence of WiFi.

My purchased movies that I download to my device, laptop, won’t play in absence of WiFi. I will be on a long flight with no internet. What is the solution?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6

Downloaded movies should be playable offline on the device on which they were downloaded.

The downloaded files are not transferable to other devices for offline playback.

The downloaded files cannot be streamed using AirPlay without an online verification.

iTunes Extras are only available for streaming, not for download.

Rented movies can be downloaded to one device only.

Else your download may be incomplete or otherwise not valid for offline use.
