If you are running current OS Monterey, you should be able to sign in at the app store and click on Updates in the app store sidebar, and then download iMovie. Otherswise, try downloading from your purchases list per the procedure below. You would need to have had iMovie 10 on your computer at one point in time.
To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the trash. (You can skip that step if you had iMovie 10 on your computer before, but deleted it.) Sign in to the app store and open your purchases folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You will see your purchases displayed, including iMovie 10. Redownload/update iMovie from there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the
trash (if you moved it there) and return it to the Applications folder.
