The world’s greatest detective, Daniel Craig as the inimitable Benoit Blanc, returns for his most dangerous case yet in this riveting new mystery from writer-director Rian Johnson. When a powerful and controversial tech magnate is found dead under bizarre circumstances at a secluded family compound, Blanc is summoned into a vipers’ nest of suspicion. He must navigate a tangled web of secrets among the deceased’s inner circle, including his enigmatic widow Glenn Close, a cunning business rival Josh Brolin, a sharp-witted former partner Kerry Washington, and a host of other potential suspects portrayed by Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott, Josh O'Connor, Daryl McCormack, and Cailee Spaeny. As the investigation deepens, Blanc realizes this is no simple murder but a complex game where every alibi is a performance and every family tie hides a motive. This stylish and suspenseful drama weaves a classic whodunit atmosphere with sharp modern edges, challenging both the detective and the audience to separate truth from a masterful illusion before the final, deadly secret is revealed.
