When you purchase a movie on your iPhone, then that movie is accessible on any of your devices in the Apple TV app, when signed in with the same Apple ID account.

Select (newer) smart TVs may support the Apple TV app among their smart apps. Unsupported TVs may connect a streaming device that supports the Apple TV app. That may be an Apple TV box, or a third party device.

Less convenient, but it is also possible to connect your mobile to TV through HDMI and an adapter.
