Jesse Armstrong's directorial debut, a standalone feature film, satirically portrays four fictional tech moguls during a financial meltdown at a lavish mountain retreat. Inspired by his experiences writing for 'Succession' and his research into Silicon Valley's culture, Armstrong focuses on the arrogance of tech entrepreneurs similar to real-life figures like Musk and Zuckerberg. The film, set for release on HBO on May 31, captures the unsettling blend of humor and danger within this elite, disconnected world, reflecting current societal tensions in the face of economic turmoil.
Armstrong says that he found that most of these (mostly) men shared 'a straight-up arrogance, which is both scary and comic.'
