In the quiet family town of Suburbicon during the 1950s, the best and worst of humanity is hilariously reflected through the deeds of seemingly ordinary people. When a home invasion turns deadly, a picture-perfect family turns to blackmail, revenge and murder.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Clooney rewrote the script to add the Mayers family storyline after Trump's election, intending satirical relevance. Critics largely felt it misfired.
The original 1986 script by the Coen Brothers was shelved for decades; this film's reputation as a misfire has arguably eclipsed the actual movie.
