The director who gave us Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker is back. Kathryn Bigelow’s new film, A House of Dynamite, is an apocalyptic political thriller starring an ensemble of heavyweights that includes Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Tracy Letts, Greta Lee, Gabriel Basso, and Jared Harris. Nominated for a Golden Lion at this year’s Venice Film Festival, A House of Dynamite unfolds between Fort Greely, Alaska—where military intelligence detects an unidentified intercontinental ballistic missile—and Washington, D.C., where officials scramble to respond. Will the missile strike the United States? —Carolina de Armas
