In Locked Down, just as they decide to separate, Linda (Anne Hathaway) and Paxton (Chiwetel Ejiofor) find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown. Co-habitation is proving to be a challenge, but fueled by poetry and copious amounts of wine, it will bring them closer together in the most surprising way.
Alongside its Oscar-nominated and winning leads, the ensemble roster for the film includes Stephen Merchant (Jojo Rabbit, The Good Place), Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Politician), Ben Kingsley (Perpetual Grace, LTD, Iron Man 3), Mindy Kaling (A Wrinkle in Time, Ocean’s 8), Ben Stiller (Escape at Dannemora, Brad’s Status) and Dulé Hill (Psych, Ballers).
