Get the knives
Popular crime writer Harlan Thrombey has been found dead after celebrating his 85th birthday. An investigation team led by experienced inspector Benoit Blanc arrives at the crime scene. In the process of collecting evidence and information about the murdered man, it turns out that anyone could have wanted his death. Even the closest relatives come under suspicion.
An ironic crime drama with elements of mysticism directed by American director Rian Johnson based on modern detective stories. The director specifically built the storyline based on the narrative principle of Agatha Christie. Initially, it is impossible to guess who the actual criminal is. The viewer begins to suspect each character in turn. And only the final scene puts everything in its place.
