Cyberattack thriller from the creator of Mr. Robot gets a star-studded trailer
It's been a few years since Mr. Robot dropped its mind-bending final episode, and now series creator Sam Esmail is back with a film that explores similar themes of cyber security and paranoia. Leave the World Behind is a dual-release Netflix film that hits theaters on November 22 and the streaming service on December 8. Here's a new trailer to wet your whistle for the cyber-apocalypse thriller. Leave the World Behind stars Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali and Kevin Bacon, which is a whole lot of star power. As for the plot, this is an Esmail joint, so it's likely best to go in fresh, but Netflix did drop a tantalizingly simple story premise: a "family's vacation is upended when two strangers arrive at night, seeking refuge from a cyberattack that grows more terrifying by the minute." The synopsis calls to mind M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin, and both films do have something in common--They're based on books.
