Genre: science fiction, comedy, action
Language: English, subtitles: Dutch
Length: 2 hrs. 15 mins. (2026)
A mysterious man claiming to be from the future bursts into a Los Angeles diner and insists that the people inside are exactly the team he needs to save humanity. From there, Gore Verbinski launches into a wildly energetic mix of science fiction, action and dark comedy, with Sam Rockwell at the center of the chaos.
Behind the mayhem is a very current anxiety: what are AI, social media and permanent screen time doing to the way we think, connect and live? The film has plenty to say, but it never forgets that its first job is to entertain.
Think Black Mirror with the brakes removed.
