The first full trailer for Kathryn Bigelow’s upcoming film, A House of Dynamite, tells a gritty, realistic look at what could happen if a rogue nuclear bomb is headed for the United States.
Starring Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, the film follows a group of Washington DC officials who are facing a crisis as, according to the logline, “a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States.”
The logline continues, “[A] race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond.” The question posed in the trailer, however, is if anyone in DC is ready for such a scenario.
