“The Get Out (2026)” is an R-rated action-thriller and crime drama directed by Derek Borte, starring Russell Crowe as Manco Kapak, a Los Angeles nightclub owner with a dangerous past involving money laundering for a Mexican crime cartel. As he attempts to retire from his illicit life after a health scare, he is drawn into a complex web of robberies, blackmail, and dangerous encounters. The plot follows Manco's struggles to escape the criminal underworld while dealing with a blackmailed professor, Jeff (Aaron Paul), who robs him, and a bank teller, Carrie (Nina Dobrev), who seeks to join the criminal activity.
