You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+movie\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ movie/%1? [R=302,L]

RewriteRule ^movie/(\d+)/?$ movie.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

That definitely worked but the original URL still shows in the bottom of the browser when hovering over a movie cover. Shouldn't the new URL be shown?

Rewrite rule cannot change links in your HTML files. You will need to update those hyperlinks yourself.

I understand. So in my PHP code i need to change the format to this <a href="movie/<?php echo $row['ID']; ?>">
