When in doubt…order a cheeseburger.

Under Mark Mylod directing eye, viewers are transported into a dining experience they’ll never forget in “The Menu” written by Seth Reiss and Will Tracy. The film follows an elite group of people including a food critic, movie star, tech bros, and a self-proclaimed foodie who travels to a remote island to dine at the exclusive restaurant Hawthorne run by Chef Slowik and his devoted staff.

Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Ralph Fiennes, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Paul Adelstein, Rob Yang, Arturo Castro, Mark St. Cyr, John Leguizamo, Aimee Carrero, Reed Birney, and Judith Light star in the film.
