Netflix “Leave the World Behind” Cast Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts

Netflix’s upcoming thriller movie “Leave the World Behind” based on the upcoming novel by Rumaan Alam about two families forced together on a long weekend that goes terribly wrong.

Netflix has confirmed the cast of it.  Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts will star in new thriller movie. Sam Esmail (“Mr. Robot”) will write and direct the adaptation for Netflix.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe.

Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?

Suspenseful and provocative, Rumaan Alam’s third novel is keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.
