Chris Evans Makes a Politically Incorrect Move in Sacrifice Trailer, Anya Taylor-Joy & More Also Star

The trailer shows masked rebels seizing three hostages at a climate charity gala as the film targets celebrity culture and elite hypocrisy.

  • Netflix will release 'Sacrifice' on October 16, starring Chris Evans as a fading celebrity and Anya Taylor-Joy as the leader of a radical group staging a hostage crisis at a climate gala.
  • Director Romain Gavras' English-language debut follows a celebrity seeking a professional comeback who, along with two other guests, is taken hostage by Joan and her followers believing a volcanic event will cleanse the planet.
  • The ensemble cast includes Vincent Cassel and Salma Hayek Pinault, with Netflix describing the film as blending 'dark comedy, high-stakes suspense, and psychological drama' while critiquing celebrity culture and elite hypocrisy; filming occurred across Greece, including a volcano in Santorini.
  • After premiering at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, the film holds a 37 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics describing it as a 'hyper-stylized' fable exploring truth and performance.
  • Netflix acquired domestic rights in May and will distribute 'Sacrifice' in the U.S. and France simultaneously this October, positioning the title as a major streaming release.
