Two decades after redefining modern horror, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite to deliver a new chapter in the 28... saga. Anchored by Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, the film blends harrowing suspense with intimate character drama, seen through the eyes of a child navigating a fractured Britain.

Among them is 12-year-old Spike, who ventures to the mainland with his father Jamie in search of a cure for his mother Isla’s mysterious illness.
Moving down from top spot but still riding high is Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (2).

He and his IMF allies – Benji (Simon Pegg), Grace (Hayley Atwell), and a terminally ill Luther (Ving Rhames) - race to retrieve a cruciform key and the AI’s source code from a sunken Russian submarine. With Luther’s sacrificial ‘poison pill’ plan, they lure the Entity to a fortified digital vault in South Africa – but can Hunt successfully stop a global annihilation?
