‘Stranger Things,’ a gripping American science fiction horror drama series created by the Duffer Brothers exclusively for Netflix, delves into the eerie atmosphere of the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins. Among Shawn Levy's most celebrated projects, this sci-fi horror series follows a tight-knit group of youngsters on a daring mission to locate their missing friend, stumbling upon a world rife with supernatural phenomena, clandestine government operations, and a mysterious girl with psychokinetic abilities. As a cornerstone of Netflix's lineup, ‘Stranger Things’ has captivated audiences worldwide, setting records for viewership on the streaming platform.
‘Real Steel,’ inspired by Richard Matheson's short story ‘Steel,’ plunges audiences into a futuristic world where boxing has evolved into a high-stakes sport dominated by robots. Hugh Jackman portrays a former boxer who finds himself drawn back into the ring, not as a fighter but as a trainer and builder of his own robot, alongside his son, played by Dakota Goyo. Fueled by electrifying action sequences and an emotionally resonant narrative of redemption, this adrenaline-fueled underdog tale packs a powerful punch.
‘Free Guy’ is a rollicking action comedy featuring a star-studded cast including Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi. The film follows the journey of a seemingly ordinary bank teller who discovers he's actually a non-player character in a sprawling multiplayer online game. Teaming up with a player, he embarks on a quest to uncover evidence of the gaming company CEO's theft of the player's game source code.
‘The Adam Project’ gives audiences a thrilling science-fiction action comedy, boasting a stellar cast led by Ryan Reynolds alongside Walker Scobell in his debut, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Catherine Keener, and Zoe Saldaña. Reynolds takes on the role of a pilot who ventures back in time, enlisting the aid of his younger self to alter the course of history. Together, they embark on a daring mission to safeguard the future while confronting the complexities of their shared past and familial ties.
‘Night at the Museum’ brings to life the whimsical world of Milan Trenc's beloved children's book, with a fantasy comedy that enchants audiences of all ages.
