Adam Driver and Miles Teller are Gary and Irwin, brothers who are complete opposites but who share a close bond. The wealthier, more worldly Gary convinces family man Irwin to take part in a get-rich-quick scheme. As the brothers pursue the American Dream, they get entangled in a dangerous Russian mafia scheme that terrorizes their family, testing their bond as betrayal becomes possible.  Co-starring Scarlett Johansson as Irwin’s wife, the film is an intense domestic drama that draws from the director’s personal and family history in 1980’s Queens.

Directed by James Gray, 2026, USA, 115 minutes, Rated R
