From the author of the celebrated dystopian classics Kingdom Come,
The Drowned World, and The Drought, High Rise is a prescient story
of class warfare. The film adaptation by acclaimed director Ben Wheatley
(Sightseers, Kill List) features Academy Award(R) winner Jeremy Irons;
BAFTA Award nominees Tom Hiddleston and Sienna Miller; Luke Evans and
Golden Globe Award(R) winner Elisabeth Moss.
When explosive loyalties form inside a luxurious apartment block
isolated from the rest of society, modern elevators become fierce
battlegrounds and cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on
"enemy" floors. In this chilling tale, humanity slips into violent
reverse as once-peaceful residents, driven by primal urges, re-create a
world ruled by the laws of the jungle.
