High-Rise

2016 Drama

2016 Drama

Based on J.G. Ballard's acclaimed novel of the same name, the film follows Dr. Robert Laing (Hiddleston), the newest tenant of a luxury high rise building that seems to provide everything a resident could ever want. However, the building is also home to a defined class system -- upper classes on the topmost floors, lower classes on the bottom -- and the residents near the ground are on the verge of revolt. Dr. Laing revels in the extravagance of the top floors, but things are not as they seem, and as the residents of the high rise are increasingly cut off from the outside world, chaos begins to spread through the building.
