What starts with a cat turns into absolute chaos.
In Caught Stealing, Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky flips the script with a deliciously dark comedy crime thriller starring Austin Butler (Elvis), Zoë Kravitz (The Batman), Matt Smith (House of the Dragon), and Benito A. Martínez Ocasio—better known to fans as Bad Bunny.
The much-anticipated trailer just dropped, and it’s every bit as gritty, funny, and off-the-rails as you’d expect from Aronofsky.
About the Film: A Bartender, a Baseball Past, and a Whole Lot of Trouble
Meet Hank Thompson (Austin Butler)—a former high-school baseball star turned low-key New York bartender. Life’s not perfect, but it’s decent. He’s got a loving girlfriend (Zoë Kravitz), a stable job, and his favorite underdog team is making a rare pennant push.
Then his neighbor Russ (Matt Smith), a punk-rock mess, asks Hank to cat-sit. No big deal, right?.. Wrong.
From Cat-Sitter to Crime Suspect
Within hours, Hank is caught in the crosshairs of an unpredictable crew of violent gangsters, all of whom are convinced he knows something. The catch? He doesn’t. Not even close.
But as the city closes in around him, Hank has to outwit—and outrun—every crooked character on his trail to figure out what’s really going on… before it’s too late.
