Novel Adaptation
Robert Pattinson stars in the latest thriller from director David Cronenberg. 28-year-old billionaire asset manager Eric Packer traverses Manhattan in his stretch limo, while remotely wagering his company's massive fortune on a bet against the Chinese Yuan. His trip across the city quickly turns into a wild, hypnotic odyssey as he encounters explosive city riots and a parade of provocative visitors. Having started the day with everything, believing he is the future, Packer's perfectly ordered, doubt-free world is about to implode.
