Taste of the story
The trailer reveals that the weekend getaway for the Sandford couple (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke), who want to escape their fast-paced life in New York, is completely turned upside down when the desperate landlord and his wife (Mahershala Ali and Miha) are forced to leave. They struggle in tears, wanting to find shelter from a global cyberattack that is destroying our modern civilization minute by minute. The end of the world was actually predicted by a scrawny-looking character (played by Kevin Bacon), but no one believed him.
The perfect trip suddenly turns into chaos, uncertainty overwhelms everything, and the characters fight for survival. The two families face an ever-increasing crisis, forcing them to confront the reality of a collapsing world.
