How do I build a movie detail page in React Router?
Define a dynamic route like /movie/:id, read the id with useParams, fetch the movie in useEffect with the id as a dependency, handle loading and error, render the details, and navigate with Link or useNavigate building the URL with the id.

More FAQs in Building Dynamic Movie Detail Pages With React Router
Because you forgot to add the id to the useEffect dependency array, so the fetch does not re-run when navigating between movies. Always include the id so the detail refetches on every navigation.
Use the useParams hook inside the component. It returns an object with the parameter name and its value from the URL, which you pass to your fetch call to load the right movie.
Use Link with a dynamic path, like <Link to={`/movie/${movie.id}`}>, or useNavigate for programmatic navigation. Build the URL with the movie id so the route matches the dynamic /movie/:id pattern.
