Acclaimed writer and director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) pays tribute to mystery mastermind Agatha Christie in Knives Out, a fun, modern-day murder mystery where everyone is a suspect. When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. With an all-star ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon and LaKeith Stanfield, Knives Out is a witty and stylish whodunit guaranteed to keep audiences guessing until the very end.

“A sleek game of cat and mouse, Knives Out, stuffed with famous and blurrily familiar faces… takes the shape of an old-fashioned whodunit—the kind with mystery, suspense, entertainment, a corpse on an heirloom settee and a half-dozen or so shifty suspects milling about.” — Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“Knives Out isn’t just a beautifully made diversion. It’s also a utopian vision.” — Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
“It’s one of the best movies of the year, and one of the most purely enjoyable, as well.” — Linda Holmes, NPR
“An entertainment that’s as smart, witty, stylish and exhilarating as any movie lover could wish for.” — Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
