A House of Dynamite
A House of Dynamite is a 2025 American apocalyptic political thriller film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Noah Oppenheim. The film features an ensemble cast led by Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, and Tracy Letts. The film shows the perspectives and responses of different government and military officials of the United States after an unknown adversary launches a single intercontinental ballistic missile at Chicago.
A House of Dynamite had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on September 2, 2025, where it was nominated for the Golden Lion. It was released in select cinemas in the United Kingdom on October 3 and was released in the United States on October 10, before its global streaming debut on Netflix on October 24. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast, editing, and sound, but criticized the screenplay.[citation needed]
The film is non-chronological, showing the same sequence three times from different perspectives. Each part has a separate title.
At Fort Greely, Major Daniel Gonzalez's team detects an unidentified intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) over the Pacific. Monitoring the White House Situation Room in Washington, D.C., Captain Olivia Walker initiates a conference call with the Pentagon, the Deputy National Security Advisor, and various United States Armed Forces combatant commands. The ICBM trajectory becomes suborbital, with a predicted impact in the United States in less than 20 minutes.
Walker adds the president and Secretary of Defense Reid Baker to the call; Beijing, Moscow, and Pyongyang deny responsibility for the launch, but deploy their own forces in anticipation of nuclear war.
NORTHCOM General Longmen directs Gonzalez to launch two Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs) to destroy the incoming ICBM. Baker activates the Continuity of Government (COG) to evacuate designated federal government members, including FEMA COG official Cathy Rogers.
The first GBI's Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle fails to separate from its launch vehicle while the second fails to impact. The ICBM's target is confirmed to be Chicago. DEFCON is raised to level 1, indicating imminent nuclear war. With impact minutes away, Walker allows her colleague SCPO William Davis to break protocol and retrieve their personal phones. Having planned to propose to his girlfriend, Davis urges a White House employee to go home. Walker warns her husband to flee D.C. with their young son.
General Anthony Brady and his deputy Major General Steven Kyle join the call from the STRATCOM battle deck at Offutt Air Force Base. With the National Security Advisor undergoing surgery, his deputy Jake Baerington is unexpectedly added to the call. Recommending restraint, Baerington admits that the GBI system only has a 61% success rate.
