Nightmare Alley

If you displease the right people, the world closes in on you very very fast

From Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro comes this neo-noir psychological thriller with a star-studded cast including Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper, Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett and Mary Steenburgen, Academy Award nominees Rooney Mara, Willem Dafoe and David Strathairn, Toni Collette, Richard Jenkins and Ron Perlman.

The movie is based on the novel Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham.

When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a travelling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet.
