The newly released trailer introduces viewers to a lavish charity gala packed with celebrities, billionaires and high-profile guests, before the event takes a disturbing turn.
Mike Tyler finds himself at the centre of the chaos when Joan, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, and her followers take him hostage.
What follows appears to be far more than a conventional hostage situation. As the night unfolds, Mike is pushed into an existential journey while the film explores ideas surrounding celebrity, belief, salvation and sacrifice.
Netflix describes the movie as an outward adventure and an inward journey in which the distinction between performance and belief — and between salvation and sacrifice — becomes increasingly blurred.
What is Sacrifice about?
Sacrifice follows movie star Mike Tyler as he becomes the unwilling centre of a radical movement after being taken hostage at a star-studded charity gala.
Joan and her devoted followers disrupt the glamorous event, sending the evening into chaos and forcing Mike to confront questions about his own life and identity.
The movie appears to take aim at the worlds of fame, wealth and celebrity philanthropy while combining those themes with a more unpredictable thriller-style story.
With Evans at the centre of the film and Taylor-Joy playing the radical Joan, Sacrifice brings together two major Hollywood stars for a story that looks considerably stranger than a straightforward action movie.
