TRAILER



PLOT

Tim and Olivia, a grieving couple struggling to recover from a recent trauma, wake up one morning to find their apartment sealed off by a solid black wall made of bricks. As they attempt to escape, they discover the entire building is surrounded, with no internet, power, or cellular signal. Initially suspecting a terrorist attack or government experiment, panic begins to rise.



They join forces with other tenants in the building, including Ana, Marvin, the elderly Oswalt and his granddaughter, and a paranoid conspiracy theorist named Yuri. The group ventures into the building’s basement and uncovers an old bomb shelter. There, they find the mutilated corpse of the building's landlord, Friedman, who appears to have had both hands severed. The shelter contains advanced equipment, camera feeds, and a control system seemingly connected to the wall’s technology.

They learn that Anton, a former resident and software engineer, had been working on an experimental app designed to interact with the wall’s nano-tech interface. Unfortunately, he died before completing his escape plan. The group begins to fracture as resources run low and paranoia sets in. Yuri believes the wall is a divine or governmental protection against a catastrophe outside, while others believe it to be a containment system gone wrong.

Attempts to escape prove deadly. Marvin is gruesomely killed by the wall when trying to break through it. Tensions escalate, resulting in more deaths, including Yuri. Tim and Olivia eventually manage to decipher Anton’s code, giving them limited control over the nanotech bricks. Using the app, they create an exit path and escape the building.

Once outside, they are shocked to see the entire city—and possibly the world—encased in similar walls. A radio broadcast reveals that the walls were a product of malfunctioning nanotechnology, triggered accidentally by a fire at the tech company’s facility. There was never any real danger outside; the walls were not to protect people, but a technological error meant to contain nothing.

The film ends with Tim and Olivia walking into the open world, uncertain of what awaits them, but finally free.

TRAILER



PLOT

Aspiring composer Jim Sanders is engaged to Patty Winston, the spoiled daughter of Ed Winston, who owns a cosmetics company. On the night of the couple's engagement party, three masked robbers kidnap Jim and escape in a car. The kidnappers are revealed to be Jim's best friends, George, Don, and Rex, who drive him back to his apartment for his bachelor party. Later, after passing out drunk, Jim awakens to find an angel lying unconscious in his swimming pool. He takes the Angel inside and revives her with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The Angel is unable to speak, only communicating in coos and high-pitched squeals. As they find that her right wing is broken, she kisses Jim.

The next morning, George, Don, and Rex discover the Angel at Jim's apartment and suggest exploiting her for profit, but Jim strongly opposes it. Shortly after Jim sews up the Angel's broken wing, Patty arrives at his apartment, but seeing the Angel wrapped in a blanket, she assumes Jim is having an affair and angrily leaves. That night, he takes the Angel to a fast-food restaurant, where she develops a taste for French fries. While Jim leaves to call Patty from a payphone, unsuccessfully trying to make amends, his friends attempt to lure the Angel into their car with French fries, before he chases them away and takes her back home. There, Ed arrives and confronts Jim, but upon looking at the Angel's face, he becomes enchanted by her and leaves.

The next day, due to the failure of his company's latest campaign, Ed sets out to replace Patty with the Angel as the company's spokesperson, which further infuriates Patty. Meanwhile, Jim's friends devise a scheme to capture the Angel by arranging for him to meet Patty over a reconciliation. When Jim arrives with the Angel, Patty storms out and he follows, whereupon his friends kidnap the Angel and drive away. The next day, as the trio reveals a bound and gagged Angel to a press conference, Jim comes to her rescue and takes her to his old treehouse in the woods.

While hiding out, Jim tells the Angel that his father got him interested in music, but six months earlier, he began to suffer from severe headaches that caused him to stop composing. Jim and the Angel then share a dance to one of his compositions. After removing the bandage from the Angel's wing, Jim advises her to leave before the others find her. As the Angel disappears, an increasingly unhinged Patty arrives and slaps Jim, prompting an invisible Angel to punch and kick Patty. Ed and Jim's parents arrive, as do George, Don, and Rex. Amid the chaos, the Angel reappears and drives away Patty and Ed with rain clouds, before disappearing into the sky.

The others notice that Jim has collapsed and rush him to a hospital, where the doctor divulges that his headaches are caused by a brain tumor in an advanced stage. When the Angel appears in Jim's hospital room, he is convinced that she has come to take him to heaven. She kisses him, and as he falls asleep, she wraps her wings around him. Shortly after George, Don, and Rex walk in to check on Jim, the Angel—now a nurse who can speak—assures them that she has it "on the highest authority" that Jim will be around for a long time. As Jim awakens, the Angel tells him that she has been granted a leave of absence for good behavior, allowing them to be together. She tells him she is craving French fries, before they embrace and kiss.

Trailer


PLOT

Four years after becoming king of Atlantis, Arthur Curry has married Mera and had a son, Arthur Jr., while splitting his life between land and sea. Meanwhile, David Kane / Black Manta continues to seek revenge against Arthur for his father's death, working with marine biologist Stephen Shin to find Atlantean artifacts. When Shin accidentally discovers a cavern in Antarctica, Manta finds a Black Trident that possesses him, its creator promising to give him the power to destroy Arthur and Atlantis.



Five months later, Manta breaks into an Orichalcum reserve on Atlantis to steal them to power his Atlantean machines that are of ancient origin but are of unknown design to modern Atlanteans. They are caught midway and chased by Atlantean forces, with Mera injured in the ensuing battle. Arthur learns that this usage of Orichalcum, which emits high quantities of greenhouse gases, has not only raised planetary temperatures and caused extreme weather and ocean acidification, but nearly caused a planetary extinction in the past when used by an ancient Atlantean kingdom. To learn where Manta is hiding, Arthur breaks his half-brother, Orm, out of prison, and they visit a pirate haven called the Sunken Citadel, meeting Kingfish to learn of Manta's whereabouts.


The information they obtain leads them to a volcanic island in the South Pacific, where they battle Manta's forces after getting themselves through flora and fauna mutated by the Orichalcum. There, Orm touches the Black Trident, which shows him visions of its provenance. Orm learns the trident was created by Kordax, the brother of King Atlan and ruler of the lost kingdom of Necrus. Kordax was imprisoned with blood magic following a failed attempt to usurp the throne. Realizing the blood of any of Atlan's descendants could release Kordax; the pair deduce Manta has kidnapped Arthur Jr. With Shin's help, the Atlanteans determine that Kordax's prison and the lost kingdom of Necrus are located in Antarctica.


In Necrus, Arthur fights Manta and is almost killed before Mera arrives and saves her husband. Manta throws the Black Trident at Mera who is taking her son to safety, but Orm catches it before it strikes her. The spirit of Kordax leaves Manta for Orm, who proceeds to fight Arthur and uses Arthur's blood to free Kordax. Arthur convinces his brother to give up his hatred for him, allowing him to destroy both Kordax and the Black Trident. With Kordax's magic vanishing, Necrus starts to collapse. Manta refuses Arthur's help and allows himself to fall into a fissure. The Atlanteans and Shin safely escape and decide that Orm has redeemed himself. Arthur and Mera plan to inform Atlantis that Orm died on the condition that he remains hidden, vacating to the surface world. Believing the unification of the underwater kingdoms and the surface world is necessary to prevent further damage to the oceans and planet, Arthur reveals Atlantis' existence through an announcement at the United Nations, declaring his intentions of making the kingdom a member state.
