Can anyone help?

    Up until quite recently all media purchases through iTunes were on a one time only download. This is gradually changing however in most regions movies are not yet available for repeat download and even in the US some distibutors have yet to release some or all of their content. Download codes are issued for one time use, so even if you had the code you would not be able to reuse it. You would have been reminded to back up the movie once downloaded unless you chose to suppress such warnings. It may be that as the new scheme is rolled out to more content that your movie will, at some point, become eligible and appear in your purchase history for download from the cloud.

     

    You could also try contacting the iTunes Store support staff to see if they can reissue the content, but it may not be within their power and they are certainly under no obligation to do so.
