Netflix has just released a first trailer for Kathryn Bigelow's star-studded political thriller A House of Dynamite. Premiered at Venice Film Festival earlier this month, the film chronicles the efforts to identify and respond to a nuclear missile threat before it hits the United States.
The trailer, released ahead of the film's cinema release next week, teases a race against time featuring a multiple-angle storyline and a huge ensemble. Silo star Rebecca Ferguson stars as Captain Olivia Walker, while Idris Elba plays the US President.
The cast is rounded out by Twisters' Anthony Ramos, The Night Agent star Gabriel Basso, Obi-Wan Kenobi's Moses Ingram, and I Know What You Did Last Summer star Jonah Hauer-King, among others.
Following its Venice debut, A House of Dynamite has earned a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes out of 36 reviews.
Critics have called the movie "unbelievably stressful" (via Time Out), "nerve-shredding" and "thought-provoking" (via RadioTimes.com), while others have praised Bigelow's precise direction.

"An extraordinarily accomplished feel-bad thriller," wrote The Times, while the BBC said the film is "more riveting than most thrillers, and more terrifying than most horror films".
Elsewhere, Variety criticised the film for not being convincing, "trapped between trying to be a serious' thriller and a piece of glorified schlock".
Penned by Noah Oppenheim, the film is Bigelow's first movie in eight years, following the critically-acclaimed Detroit.
