A House of Dynamite

When U.S. defense radars detect a nuclear missile on a direct trajectory toward the city of Chicago, the White House becomes the epicenter of one of the most alarming crises of the 21st century. With no time to confirm the origin of the attack and no room for errors, a group of high-ranking government officials must make immediate decisions that could alter the course of history. Should they respond with retaliation? Evacuate? Negotiate? Trust in defense systems or prepare for the worst?

In the presidential bunker and the situation rooms, the tension is at its peak. Every passing minute brings the catastrophe closer, and certainties vanish. Is it an act of war? A technical error? A provocation to destabilize the country from within? Amid the chaos, loyalties, betrayals, ambitions, and fears are revealed. As the entire nation watches in suspense, political and military leaders face not only the imminent disaster but also their own moral and personal limits.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow ('Zero Dark Thirty', 'The Hurt Locker') and written by Noah Oppenheim ('Jackie'), the film is an intense and electrifying political thriller that unfolds in almost real-time. With a stellar ensemble cast led by Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, and Jared Harris, the film offers an unflinching look at power, uncertainty, and the thin line that separates diplomacy from destruction. A claustrophobic and deeply human portrait of the exact moment when the world can change forever.
