About

Synopsis

Midnight Special (2016) — watch online on iFILM: a sci-fi drama written and directed by Jeff Nichols, starring Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, and Adam Driver. One hundred and eleven minutes of a road chase that refuses to behave like a typical genre film.

Roy (Shannon) and his friend Lucas (Edgerton) grab Roy's eight-year-old son Alton and drive through the night. The boy emits beams of light from his eyes, tunes into encrypted military frequencies, and knows things no child should know. A religious cult wants him back. An NSA analyst (Driver) is closing in. And Alton's mother Sarah (Dunst) is trying to figure out what her son actually is. Nichols keeps the camera close and the score minimal — the tension comes from what isn't explained.

Jeff Nichols built his career on quiet Southern stories like Mud and Take Shelter; here he turns those same instincts toward something genuinely strange. Stream Midnight Special (2016) full movie online on iFILM.
