Synopsis

Our beloved Benoit Blanc returns to solve the mysteries of the new feature film directed and written by Rian Johnson, 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery'. This new adventure leads the detective to a luxurious mansion located on an island in Greece, but how he manages to get there and why is only the first mystery of many raised in the film. Blanc is there with a group of friends who have been summoned by a billionaire named Miles Bron to celebrate a meeting that is repeated every year. Among this guest list is Bron's ex-partner, Andi Brand; the current governor of Connecticut, Claire Debella; Lionel Toussaint, avant-garde scientist; former model and fashion designer Birdie Jay and her keen assistant, Peg; to influencer Duke Cody and his partner and sidekick Whiskey. As in any self-respecting murder mystery story, each of these characters hide their own secrets, they all lie and have reasons to do so. Director Rian Johnson resumed the saga that began, 'Knives Out', with this second part, bringing together for this feature film a excellent cast made up of Daniel Craig (who returns in his role as detective Benoit Blanc), Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.
