The trailer of Netflix’s upcoming movie Spiderhead, starring Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller, is out, and it’ll remind viewers of Black Mirror. The trailer introduces us to a universe the place Hemsworth’s character Steve Abnesti is conducting drug trials on folks, together with Teller, and as quickly as they’re administered the drug, they lose management of themselves.

The drug trials are being carried out on prisoners and the ability is a brand new jail for them. Here, they are often themselves, till they’ve the drug. “Your presence in this facility while technically a punishment is a privilege,” says Hemsworth’s Steve.

The movie is helmed by Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski.

The synopsis of Spiderhead reads, “In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits. In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. Until they’re not. At times, they’re a better version. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption take a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether.”

The Netflix movie, which is able to launch on June 17, relies on George Saunders’ brief story Escape From Spiderhead, which was revealed in The New Yorker.
