Here's the official sneak peek clip from "Leave The World Behind," the new end-of-the-world mystery-thriller featuring a star-studded cast that includes Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la Herrold, and Kevin Bacon.

Written and directed by Sam Esmail (known for his work on "Mr. Robot" and "Homecoming"), the film is an adaptation of Rumaan Alam's highly acclaimed 2020 novel of the same name. It envisions a terrifying scenario in which the entire United States grapples with a nationwide power outage triggered by a massive cyberattack.

At the core of this enigmatic tale is a married couple, portrayed by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, who are enjoying a family vacation at a rental house when two mysterious strangers (played by Mahershala Ali and Myha'la) unexpectedly arrive at their doorstep. These uninvited guests bear unsettling news of an impending nationwide blackout caused by an unforeseen cyberattack -- a crisis that threatens to plunge society into chaos. Now, the family must confront the daunting decision of how to navigate a world turned upside down while wrestling with the uncertainty of whom to trust.

"Leave the World Behind" is set to have a limited theatrical release this month, throughout November before becoming available for streaming exclusively on Netflix starting December 8th. Watch the clip, above.
