While trying to navigate the unforgiving landscape, Arlen is captured by a savage band of cannibals led by the mysterious Miami Man (Momoa). With her life on the line, she makes her way to The Dream (Reeves). As she adjusts to life in 'the bad batch' Arlen discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who's standing next to you. Starring SUKI WATERHOUSE (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES), JASON MOMOA (JUSTICE LEAGUE, Game of Thrones), GIOVANI RIBISI (TED, Sneaky Pete), KEANU REEVES (JOHN WICK) ABOUT THE PRODUCTION “All of us here. We weren’t good enough, smart enough, young enough, healthy enough, wealthy enough, sane enough…Freaks, parasites. This here is The Bad Batch. We ain’t good. We’re bad.” – The Dream Writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour’s The Bad Batch brings to fruition a radical and nightmarish view of the margins of America, exploring the limits of survival and human understanding, in this dark adventure-romance, with a soaring musical score. It's an epic quest movie, a psychedelic western, a pop-fairy tale, set in a desert wasteland where human-eat-human has become a way of life for societies rejects.
