On a stormy night in 1969, seven strangers converge on the El Royale, a once-glamorous hotel straddling the California-Nevada border that has faded into eerie obscurity. Each guest carries a secret: a priest Jeff Bridges with a mysterious past, a cynical vacuum salesman Jon Hamm, a soulful singer Cynthia Erivo, and a dangerous woman Dakota Johnson with a hostage. As the night unfolds, hidden agendas and buried truths surface within the hotel's mirrored walls, where nothing is as it seems and every room holds a dark surprise. Their tense coexistence shatters with the arrival of a charismatic but sinister cult leader Chris Hemsworth, forcing all the disparate players into a deadly confrontation. Directed by Drew Goddard, this stylish and suspenseful thriller masterfully intertwines the fates of its desperate characters, building towards a climactic night where everyone's sins come due at the El Royale.
