Jesse Armstrong's 'Mountainhead' diverges from the dramatic tone of 'Succession' to deliver a bleak yet comedic exploration of wealth and morality. Set in a mountain mansion owned by millionaire Hugo, the film features millionaires discussing the chaos unleashed by a generative AI, which causes global violence. As Hugo and his friends debate their roles in this crisis, they reveal their self-serving views, particularly Jeff, who sees potential profit from the suffering caused by the AI. The film critiques these characters' detached attitudes as they navigate impending apocalypse while being morally reprehensible.
In the tradition of Armstrong's work, 'Mountainhead' is a bleak comedy that critiques the super-rich and their detached morality amidst societal collapse.
The action reveals Hugo's struggles with his meditation app while his billionaire friends face a global crisis, showcasing the irony of wealth in a chaotic world.
