Overview

• Set in a Utah mansion, the film follows four ultra-wealthy founders—characters loosely inspired by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders—as they confront global chaos unleashed by an unchecked AI update on their social media platform.
• Armstrong drafted the screenplay in ten days in January, shot on location outside Park City in 22 days and completed editing by early May to keep pace with current tech anxieties.
• Performances from Cory Michael Smith, Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman and Ramy Youssef have been praised for capturing the manic energy and moral void of their billionaire characters.
• The script delves into themes of toxic masculinity, unchecked capitalism and the manipulation of reality through AI-driven disinformation.
• Since its May 31 premiere on HBO and HBO Max, the film has earned acclaim for its razor-sharp dialogue and tight, chamber-play structure.
