UNABOMBER

A closer look at the story

Inspired by true events, UNABOMBER explores the dark transformation of Ted Kaczynski. The story reaches back to the years when Kaczynski was a gifted young mind attracting attention at Harvard. During that time, he takes part as a subject in psychological experiments run by Professor Henry Murray that would later prove highly controversial. Decades afterwards, a sweeping manhunt gets under way under the leadership of FBI agent Joanne Miller. As the investigation progresses, Kaczynski's troubled history comes back to the surface, and the question of how a brilliant mind became the notorious Unabomber grows ever more pressing. The film focuses on the chilling toll that ambition and isolation can take on a person. Directed by Janus Metz and written by Sam Chalsen and Nelson Greaves, this 101-minute 2026 crime thriller stars Jacob Tremblay as Kaczynski, Russell Crowe as Murray and Shailene Woodley as Joanne Miller.
