Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal trade barbs in a new A24 neo-Western written and directed by Ari Aster!
Joe Cross (Phoenix), the sheriff of the rural New Mexico town of Eddington, has the ambition to move up in the pecking order of local politics and opts to run for mayor. His rival, Ted Garcia (Pascal), is the current mayor who is running for re-election. Making matters worse is the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic (and the associated conspiracy theories surrounding its validity) has beset the small town, causing divisiveness in an environment where everybody knows everybody. While the contest between Cross and Garcia begins as a mere battle of words for the hearts and minds of the townsfolk, it soon escalates beyond the battleground of local politics into something that threatens to tear apart the town of Eddington itself.
