>“The Entertainment System Is Down” is a dark comedy disaster drama set aboard a long-haul flight from London to Sydney, starring Keanu Reeves, Kirsten Dunst, Woody Harrelson, Samantha Morton, Daniel Brühl, Joel Edgerton and Nicholas Brau, among others. A key group of the passengers are boisterous Australian cricket fans returning home after Australia has lost a series to England. Östlund said the characters were inspired partly by the legend of Australian cricketer David Boon, who reportedly drank 52 cans of beer on a 1989 flight, as well as by Australian men he has observed around his holiday home in Majorca.>The central crisis begins when the plane’s entertainment system fails. To keep passengers occupied, the crew rig up a single communal screen and try to settle on a film everyone can watch. The passengers become divided between those willing to watch “Leviathan” by Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev and a larger group demanding an Adam Sandler comedy instead. Their inability to agree leads crew members to open part of the aircraft floor to repair the system, triggering a chain of events that ultimately compromises the plane. As Östlund jokingly summarized it, the passengers’ refusal to watch “Leviathan” is effectively what causes the crash.https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/6/21/plot-details-for-ruben-ostlund
>Östlund plans to include a scene where a young boy asks to borrow his older brother’s iPad and is told he has to wait five minutes. “And then I want to challenge the audience,” Östlund teases. “You stay with the kid in real time. And he’s looking in the catalog, putting it back and the restlessness is coming. So he asks his mother, ‘How much do we have left?’ And she says, ‘Well, now it’s four minutes and 45 seconds, you have to calm down.'">"When the audience starts to realize that this is a real-time shot, I think a lot of people are going to be very, very frustrated," he said, still chuckling. "I want to create history." Östlund added that with this film he wants to cause the most walkouts in Cannes history. “And I think it’s going to be more provocative than any violent, any disturbing content,” he says. “Because to be left alone with your thoughts and challenging the audience to do the same thing, then it’s going to be very interesting."https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/4/19/keanu-reeves-in-talks-to-star-in-ruben-stlunds-the-entertainment-system-is-down
