Kathryn Bigelow makes her return to filmmaking after eight years with the nuclear missile thriller “A House of Dynamite,” which received positive reviews at its premiere in Venice. The film has already been acquired by Netflix, and the trailer is now available for viewing.

The story follows senior situation room duty officer Rebecca Ferguson, who delivers a convincing American accent that may make viewers forget her role as Ilsa Faust. She receives alarming news: an intercontinental ballistic missile is detected over Asia, heading towards a city in the Midwest U.S. With the speed of ICBMs, it will reach its target in just 18 minutes.

The film unfolds through various perspectives, including Idris Elba as the President of the United States, as the tension builds during those critical 18 minutes. The cast also features Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Moses Ingram, and Jonah Hauer-King, along with Greta Lee and Jason Clarke. The screenplay is written by Noah Oppenheim, a former president of NBC News, known for his work on Pablo Larrain’s “Jackie” and co-creating the Netflix series “Zero Day,” which focuses on a major cyberattack on the U.S.

In a review, IndieWire Executive Editor Ryan Lattanzio described the film as “horrifically gripping and hopeless,” stating it “will ruin your day” in the best possible way, awarding it an A- score and a Critic’s Pick after its Venice Film Festival screening earlier this month. He noted that “A House of Dynamite” moves rapidly with an expanding ensemble cast, making it challenging to keep track of all the characters.

The film takes place within a tight 20-minute timeline, presenting the same events from different viewpoints. Bigelow’s focused direction is highlighted as exceptional, continuing her exploration of American political complexities seen in films like “The Hurt Locker” and “Zero Dark Thirty.” “A House of Dynamite” appears to complete a trilogy addressing the collapse of the American dream during wartime.

With its intense filmmaking style, the film is described as engrossing, featuring a powerful sound design and a score by Volker Bertelmann that adds to the overall tension. “A House of Dynamite” is set to open in select U.S. theaters on Friday, October 10, and will be available for streaming on Netflix starting Friday, October 24.
