Encounter (2021 film)

The film stars Riz Ahmed, Octavia Spencer, Janina Gavankar, Rory Cochrane, Lucian-River Chauhan, and Aditya Geddada.

One night, Malik appears at their house, wakes up his two sons, and urgently tells them that they are going on a road trip.

Later, Malik learns his boys' mother is pregnant after his sons say Piya has been getting sick in the morning and having weird food cravings.

Hattie works with federal law enforcement in an attempt to retrieve Jay and Bobby.

While describing how terrible the conditions were, he mentions that they were "getting eaten alive by bugs" and then found bodies of children in the wreckage.

While Malik sleeps off his injury in an abandoned house, Jay drives to get his father medicine and food.

Malik calls his ex-wife and gives her an address of a diner where he will leave the boys, telling her he will not go back to prison.

However, while the police and helicopters start chasing his car, Malik realizes Jay has hidden in the back seat.

Not wanting to lose his father, Jay runs out of the car and points a gun at the police.

In October 2018, it was announced Michael Pearce would direct the film from a screenplay by himself and Joe Barton, with Film4 Productions and Raw set to produce.
