When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond, in Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow's (Point Break, The Hurt Locker) highly tense doomsday thriller.

At a remote military outpost, the day starts like any other until a crisis of apocalyptic proportions strikes the United States. Jumping in perspective over the same 18 minutes, a range of characters, from the President (Idris Elba) to an intelligence analyst (Rebecca Ferguson), and a series of military and civilian personalities inbetween, have to deal with the escalating dilemmas at stake in a limited time with only incomplete information and untested protocols at their disposal.

As unsettling as it is heart-pounding, A House of Dynamite is a taut, thought-provoking exploration of an all-too-believable nightmare, brought vividly to life by Elba, Ferguson, and a supporting cast including Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, Jason Clarke and more.

"Kathryn Bigelow’s terrifying nuclear threat thriller might be her best work yet...a masterclass in tension-building." - John Bleasdale, Sight and Sound
