Starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, this electrifying battle of wits and survival explodes onto the big screen nationwide on April 2.

The Story: When the Hunter Becomes the Hunted

Eddie (Bill Skarsgård) is a small-time thief looking for a big score. When he breaks into a luxurious SUV, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—until he realizes he’s stepped into a twisted trap set by William (Anthony Hopkins), a sadistic vigilante with a ruthless sense of justice.

The car is no ordinary vehicle—it’s a prison on wheels, rigged with deadly contraptions that keep Eddie locked in. With William watching his every move, Eddie must summon every ounce of wit, grit, and cunning to escape. The clock is ticking, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In this high-stakes game of survival, only one will make it out alive.
