Explanation :
The given sentence is in the active voice. We have to change the sentence into passive form.
The given sentence is written in 'present perfect tense.'
The structure of these kinds of sentences is:
Active Voice: Subject + have/has + V3 + Object.
Passive Voice: Object + have/has + been + V3 + by (preposition) + Subject.
Let’s see another example:
Active voice: The minister has called an emergency meeting.
Passive voice: An emergency meeting has been called by the minister.
The subject of the given sentence is 'He' and the object of the given sentence is 'the movie'.
So, in the passive voice, the position of ‘subject’ and ‘object’ will be interchanged.
Also here, 'has downloaded' will be changed into 'has been downloaded'.
'He' will be changed into 'him.'
