Mountainhead: Tech Billionaires Face AI Crisis

News summary

Jesse Armstrong's film 'Mountainhead,' his first project after 'Succession,' is now streaming early on HBO Max to positive reviews. The satirical political drama follows four tech billionaire friends—played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef, and Cory Michael Smith—who convene at a secluded mountain lodge during a global crisis triggered by a dangerous new AI app. As power struggles and betrayals unfold, multiple failed murder attempts occur within the group. The story reaches a climax with Jeff (Youssef) narrowly escaping death by striking a self-serving deal, while the ambiguous ending hints at ongoing rivalry and camaraderie. The film maintains Armstrong’s signature blend of sharp social commentary and dark humor, drawing comparisons to 'Succession.' Its rapid production, early streaming release, and an 81% Rotten Tomatoes score underscore HBO's confidence in the project.
