Netflix's new thriller movie with Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson already sounds intense — and we have a release date
Netflix seems to be doubling down on political thrillers lately. Just days after dropping the first look at its upcoming series 'Hostage,' the streamer has now revealed some juicy details on an original movie that sounds just as intense. 'A House of Dynamite,' a new dramatic thriller from Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow, is officially coming to Netflix (and in select theaters) on October 24, 2025, and it already sounds like a gripping watch. The movie stars Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, which is reason enough to pay attention, but throw in Bigelow (whose work on 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'The Hurt Locker' basically defined the modern political thriller) and this project immediately feels like something worth watching on the biggest screen possible. From Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow comes A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, in select theaters October and on Netflix October 24. 18, 2025 Netflix hasn't released a trailer or any first-look images yet, but we do have an intriguing poster showing the outline of a soldier, with the title printed just below. It's not much to go on, but with this announcement out in the world, hopefully more details will follow in the coming weeks. The newly confirmed plot details line up with what The Hollywood Reporter revealed a few months ago, which also mentioned that the movie's standout element is its real-time format — following government officials in a race against the clock to prevent catastrophe. I love a ticking-clock setup when it's done right, and so I'm hopeful about this one. 'A House of Dynamite' certainly sounds intriguing, and I'm glad Netflix is putting this movie in theaters too. Honestly, any excuse to support your local theater is a win in my book! While details for 'A House of Dynamite' are scarce right now, we do have a small synopsis: 'When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That one-line synopsis might be brief, but you can't deny that it sounds compelling. And with Noah Oppenheim, known for 'Jackie' and 'The Maze Runner,' behind the script, there's a good chance this story will be both smart and sharply paced. In fact, Netflix Tudum described it as 'a sharp and visceral new story.' Alongside Elba and Ferguson, the cast includes Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Moses Ingram, Jonah Hauer-King, Greta Lee, and Jason Clarke. They're joined by Malachi Beasley, Brian Tee, Brittany O'Grady, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Willa Fitzgerald, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kyle Allen, and Kaitlyn Dever. Bigelow is officially making her return, and it sounds like she's diving straight into high-stakes territory with a tension-filled missile crisis thriller. The cast is stacked, the premise is juicy, and if early hints are anything to go by, we could be in for a tense ride. 'A House of Dynamite' hits select theaters this October and lands on Netflix on October 24.

Kathryn Bigelow's Netflix Oscar hopeful gets explosive title: ‘A House of Dynamite'
Netflix has Big(elow) ambitions for this year's Oscar race. On Wednesday morning, the streaming giant shared fresh details about the awards hopeful formerly known as 'Untitled Kathryn Bigelow Project,' hailing from the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. Bigelow's latest film is officially called A House of Dynamite and features an A-list cast that includes Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, and Tracy Letts. More from GoldDerby Golden Globes set 2026 awards timeline, Best Podcast eligibility rules 'The Studio' Emmy predictions: How many nominations can it get? Jeremy Allen White is 'Born to Run' in the first trailer for Bruce Springsteen biopic 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' Written by Noah Oppenheim — the former NBC News president-turned-lauded screenwriter of films like Jackie — the all-too-timely premise involves a rogue missile headed directly for American shores. While the explosive projectile is in flight, officials at the highest levels of power scramble to figure out which country or organization is responsible for the inbound attack. In addition to the title, Netflix shared an evocative first-look image for A House of Dynamite, featuring a solider in full battle rattle under a blood red sky. The streamer also confirmed that the film will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by an Oct. 24 streaming launch. Courtesy Netflix It's Bigelow's first theatrically released feature since 2017's Detroit, an eight-year gap that she has filled with projects ranging from executive producing J.C. Chandor's Netflix favorite Triple Frontier to helming Super Bowl commercials for big brands like Budweiser. But any Bigelow-directed feature is well worth the wait. After helming such cult favorites as Near Dark and Strange Days in the '80s and '90s, she made Oscar history in 2010 as the first female filmmaker to win the Best Director statue for The Hurt Locker. That acclaimed Iraq War drama also toppled the Goliath known as James Cameron's Avatar to win Best Picture. Two years later, the tick-tock war on terror thriller Zero Dark Thirty put her back in the Best Picture race and nabbed four additional nominations for its screenplay, film editing, sound editing, and Jessica Chastain's acclaimed star turn. Considering current geopolitical tensions, A House of Dynamite is likely going to be an explosive addition to Netflix's awards slate and could net Bigelow her second directing Oscar nod. "It's the moment of a lifetime," she said while accepting her historic win in 2010. Since that victory, only two other women have won Best Director statues: Chloé Zhao for Nomadland in 2021 and Jane Campion for The Power of the Dog in 2022.
