Just before the 1973 Chilean coup d’etat, CIA officers Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched to Easter Island under orders from their bureau chief MJ (Steve Buscemi). As the longtime colleagues clash amidst the Moai statues over dark pasts and tangled conspiracies, their journey on this isolated, paradise-like island turns into unexpected chaos. Following The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), where he depicted the poignant collapse of a relationship set on a remote Irish island, director Martin McDonagh shifts the stage to a secluded corner of the South Pacific to deliver his signature black comedy and suspense. Set against a backdrop of massive political upheaval, the finely tuned interplay among master actors exquisitely intertwines the shadows of historical tragedy with the fractures of personal morality.
Martin McDonagh is an Irish playwright and film director born in London, who first gained recognition with his Academy Award-winning short film Six Shooter (2004). His major works include Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), which won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture and Drama and Best Screenplay, as well as the BAFTA Awards for Best Film and Outstanding British Film, and The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay. In addition to film, he is an accomplished playwright who has written plays such as The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Pillowman, which have been performed in over 40 countries to date.
