Every story connects. Every truth cuts deep.
When 17 children vanish in unison at 2:17 AM in Maybrook, their tight‑knit community is thrust into terror. Teacher Justine Gandy (Julia Garner) is left haunted by her empty classroom, while desperate parent Archer Graff (Josh Brolin) demands answers. As the town scrambles for explanations, police officer Paul Morgan (Alden Ehrenreich) uncovers a web of interlocking mysteries – ranging from grief and trauma to disturbing supernatural whispers. From the writer‑director of Barbarian, Weapons morphs from a chilling missing‑kids thriller into an expansive, genre‑defying horror epic that echoes Magnolia in its ensemble storytelling.
With Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan, Austin Abrams and more filling out this emotionally charged tapestry, the film evolves in unexpected, mind‑bending ways – promising a journey far beyond its eerie premise.
