When they get there, the father's billionaire boss (Richard E Grant) sees an opportunity to exploit the unicorn's miraculous disease-curing properties for his own gain.
But as the trailer shows, the unicorn's parent isn't best pleased with this development, and comes back to seek revenge. Or as the excellent trailer tagline goes: "Poke around and find out."
Death of a Unicorn, which was one of the movies to be allowed to continue shooting during the 2023 Hollywood strikes, also stars Téa Leoni, Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, Jessica Hynes and Stephen Park.
