Mountainhead (2025) is a satirical comedy-drama directed by Jesse Armstrong. Set in a luxurious Utah mountain retreat, it follows four tech billionaires—Randall (Steve Carell), Venis (Cory Michael Smith), Jeff (Ramy Youssef), and Hugo “Souper” Van Yalk (Jason Schwartzman)—who gather for a weekend of poker and scheming. As a global crisis unfolds, driven by AI-generated disinformation from Venis’s social media platform, Traam, their toxic friendships unravel through sharp dialogue, power struggles, and a dark murder plot.
