A House of Dynamite release date – when is it coming to Netflix?

by

After an eight-year break since her film ‘Detroit’, Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow is back with a new political thriller called ‘A House of Dynamite’. The film stars Idris Elba as the U.S. President and Rebecca Ferguson as a military captain.

Okay, so I just heard about Kathryn Bigelow’s new movie, ‘A House of Dynamite,’ and it’s a really interesting premise. It’s her first time working with Netflix, which is cool, and it’s all about what happens *inside* the White House when the US is suddenly hit with a nuclear attack. It’s not about the explosion itself, but how the President and the government react – that’s the core of the story.

The new film, A House of Dynamite, written by Noah Oppenheim (known for The Maze Runner), has earned positive reviews, including a 4-star rating from us. We called it a frightening and excellent nuclear thriller, placing it among the writer’s best work. It premiered to acclaim at the Venice Film Festival.

So, you’re probably wondering where and how to watch it – here’s all the information you need.
