Cyberattack thriller from the creator of Mr. Robot gets a star-studded trailer

<p>It’s been a few years since Mr. Robot dropped its <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-12-25-mr-robot-season-four-finale-review.html">mind-bending final episode,[/url] and now series creator Sam Esmail is back with a film that explores similar themes of cyber security and paranoia. Leave the World Behind <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Netflix;elmt:;cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=2a170a1e-7e5c-4edd-b5dd-ea6d3bd9416a&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Netflix&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5uZXRmbGl4LmNvbS90aXRsZS84MTMxNDk1NiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZGI3ZWQyNTktODdhOS00YWNmLTk5ZjEtNmI2NjQzNGU4MDRhIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAQ2-r7BUFOk6ljeMV9Z1kzZhkIjluqlQxyVSCFvk2G0U&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Ftitle%2F81314956" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.netflix.com/title/81314956">is a dual-release Netflix film[/url] that hits theaters on November 22 and the streaming service on December 8. Here's a new trailer to wet your whistle for the cyber-apocalypse thriller.</p>

<p>Leave the World Behind stars Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali and Kevin Bacon, which is a whole lot of star power. As for the plot, this is an Esmail joint, so it’s likely best to go in fresh, but Netflix did drop a tantalizingly simple story premise: a “family’s vacation is upended when two strangers arrive at night, seeking refuge from a cyberattack that grows more terrifying by the minute.”</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The synopsis calls to mind M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin, and both films do have something in common—They’re based on books. The similarly-named <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0xlYXZlLVdvcmxkLUJlaGluZC1SdW1hYW4tQWxhbS9kcC8xNzk5OTQyNzgzP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTRwdi0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZGI3ZWQyNTktODdhOS00YWNmLTk5ZjEtNmI2NjQzNGU4MDRhIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAaGAkOkkxBNU5RkKPZPWypjFdm8IfBTlIAvdqcX7w5Lx&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FLeave-World-Behind-Rumaan-Alam%2Fdp%2F1799942783" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/Leave-World-Behind-Rumaan-Alam/dp/1799942783">Leave the World Behind novel[/url] was penned by renowned author Rumaan Alam and has been praised by publications like NY Times, USA Today, Esquire and many more. On the plus side, we know the movie will have a proper ending to work with. On the down side, spoilers will be tough to avoid, so exercise caution when surfing the endless web.</p>
<p>The movie continues Netflix’s recent dual-release strategy as seen with Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Marriage Story, The Irishman and other high-profile features. Leave the World Behind starts a two-week exclusive run at movie theaters on November 22 before premiering on the popular streaming service on December 8. This isn’t the first movie written and directed by Esmail. Just before booking Mr. Robot, he created <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(film)">a romance film called Comet[/url] about parallel universes.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cyberattack-thriller-from-the-creator-of-mr-robot-gets-a-star-studded-trailer-153011921.html?src=rss
