The Life of Chuck

The world stands on the brink: Germany is swallowed by a volcano, California sinks into the sea, and the Internet is dead. Amidst this chaos, the accountant Charles «Chuck» Krantz is unexpectedly a constant for the people. His face adorns massive billboards and fills every television screen, all displaying nothing but Chuck’s visage and a big thank-you for his services. But who is this man? A mystery that stretches far back. Above all, it raises a central question: Can the fate of a single individual change the entire world?

Mystery specialist Mike Flanagan presents the extraordinary and deeply moving adaptation of Stephen King’s short story of the same name – a life-affirming drama that won the Audience Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Flanagan skillfully blends the mystery of King’s original tale with universal questions of life, finding magic and warmth in the enchanting melancholy of our existence. Alongside Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Mark Hamill, a brilliant ensemble shines.
