A House of Dynamite
Opens October 10, 2025
In Kathryn Bigelow’s taut thriller, when a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond.
In A House of Dynamite, the day starts like any other — but then everything changes. When a single unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible, and how to respond. Unless it is stopped, the missile will obliterate a major US city in less than 20 minutes. That’s the nerve-wracking premise of the latest from Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty), written by Noah Oppenheim (Zero Day). Boasting an impressive ensemble cast including Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, the film is a chilling and unbelievably tense minute-by-minute account of what the highest levels of government would do in the face of a nuclear attack on America.
