A story about a young couple vacationing in Greece who become victims to a trap of violent conspiracy, this film is perfect for those seeking a good thriller.

This is going to be a big one! The cast alone is a huge deal, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill. As if that wasn't enough, the storyline is cool too - it follows two astronomers trying to warn all of us of a giant meteorite hurtling towards Earth.

11
