Nope, the 2022 neo-Western sci-fi thriller from Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us), is airing on TV tonight (Saturday, 5 September).
Working there, the pair begin to realise something sinister is lurking in the skies above the ranch. All the while, the owner of a nearby theme park (Oscar-nominee Steven Yeun) tries to profit from the mysterious, otherworldly phenomenon.
Blending all the thrills you would associate with a big-budget UFO film with an unsettling, horror-tinged atmosphere and an enigmatic story layered with deeper meaning, Nope was a box office hit and earned a high 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Also featuring in its cast Brandon Perea and the great Michael Wincott, Nope is airing on TV tonight on Channel 4 at 10.20pm.
The sci-fi is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, Rakuten TV, and the Sky Store.
