Get Out is a 2017 American horror film written and directed by Jordan Peele in his directorial debut. It stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Lil Rel Howery, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, Catherine Keener, and Lakeith Stanfield. Get Out premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on February 24, 2017. It received acclaim from critics, with praise for the screenplay, direction, and social themes. It was also a massive commercial success, grossing USD 255 million worldwide on a USD 4. 5 million budget, with a net profit of USD 124. 8 million, making it the tenth-most profitable film of 2017. At the 90th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for four awards, including Best Picture; Peele won for Best Original Screenplay. It also earned five nominations at the 23rd Critics’ Choice Awards, two at the 75th Golden Globe Awards, and 2 at the 71st British Academy Film Awards. It has been featured in multiple listings of the best films of the 2010s. The film is mainly about a young African-American man who uncovers a disturbing secret when he meets the family of his white girlfriend, Rose Armitage. In a trance, he expresses guilt over his mother’s death in a hit-and-run when he was a child, and sinks into a void Missy calls the \”Sunken Place\”. The next morning, he assumes that the encounter was a dream until Walter acknowledges their brief encounter the night before.
Chris meets another black man, Logan King, who behaves strangely and is married to a much older white woman. Chris tries to photograph Logan inconspicuously, but when his flash goes off, Logan becomes hysterical, shouting at Chris to \”get out\”. The others restrain him and Dean claims that Logan had a seizure. Away from the party, Chris convinces Rose that they should leave. While Chris packs to leave, he finds photos of Rose in prior relationships with black people, including Walter and Georgina, contradicting her claim that Chris is her first black boyfriend. Chris attacks Jeremy, but Missy uses a trigger that she implanted during his hypnosis, knocking him out. Chris awakens strapped to a chair in the basement. Although the host’s consciousness remains in the Sunken place, Chris is conscious but powerless. The Armitages target black people only for sight and his photography skills. Chris kills Jeremy as he heads towards the door, but is attacked by Jeremy and his parents, Dean and Jeremy. Chris bludgeons Dean with the antlers of a deer mount, causing him to knock over a candle, causing a fire inside the operating room. Chris is taken to the hospital for surgery, but he kills himself before leaving the car. The entire film was shot in 23 days, with principal photography began in February 2016 in Fairhope, Alabama.
