From Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) comes A House of Dynamite: a tense, real-time political thriller that brings the world to the edge.

When a single, unattributed nuclear missile hurtles toward the United States, a race against time ignites inside the highest corridors of power. Idris Elba embodies the President of the United States, while Rebecca Ferguson commands attention as Captain Olivia Walker, the vital military communications lead. Against a backdrop of mounting dread, this ensemble—including Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, and Moses Ingram—peels back the mask of procedure to expose the very human burden borne in moments of apocalypse.

Realized with raw authenticity and urgency, the film premiered to an electrifying 11-minute standing ovation at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Golden Lion
