Wild Horse Nine

  Martin McDonagh  |  U.S., Chile

Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island’s iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris’s newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

From Oscar-nominated writer and director and Festival favorite Martin McDonagh (The Banshees of Inisherin, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, In Bruges) comes another sharply written and incisively political tale, filled with memorable performances, acerbic humor, and the dark side of human nature.
