The end of the world is a familiar scenario on screen – aliens obliterating the White House, Apes rising to the top of the food chain, you know the drill. But you've probably never seen an end-of-the-world movie quite like A House of Dynamite.
Set across the 19 minutes that follow the detection of a rogue nuclear missile heading towards US soil, it's a terrifyingly plausible and meticulously researched account of how the world could forever change in a matter of minutes. Looping around, Rashomon-style, to show the house of cards collapse at multiple different levels of US Strategic Command, it features a star-studded cast, including Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Anthony Ramos and Tracy Letts.
