Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke’s characters, Amanda and Clay Sandford, experience a life-altering event in the teaser trailer for Netflix’s upcoming film “Leave The World Behind”. Released on Monday, the trailer introduces a story filled with suspense and uncertainty.
The trailer begins with a midnight knock at the Sandford family’s door. Mahershala Ali’s character, G.H. Scott, a man who understands the patterns that govern the world, warns the Sandfords about the impending danger they face. Scott and his wife Ruth, portrayed by Myha’la Herrold, claim to be the owners of the home the Sandfords rented for the weekend, and seek shelter with the family that night. Little do they know that this evening will mark the beginning of a terrifying and relentless cyberattack that unfolds during a New York City blackout.
As the chaos intensifies, Scott tells the Sandfords that there is no going back to the normalcy they once knew. They must come to terms with their place in a collapsing world. Danny, played by Kevin Bacon, a doomsday prophet, further emphasizes this point, revealing that everyone has been deserted and the destruction around them is evidence of this.
The film boasts an ensemble cast, with Farrah Mackenzie and Charlie Evans joining Roberts, Hawke, Ali, Herrold, and Bacon. The story is an adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s novel, and it promises to deliver a gripping and thought-provoking narrative. “Leave The World Behind” is set to have a limited theatrical release on November 22 before making its streaming debut on Netflix on December 8.
