BUNKER: Javier Bardem And Penélope Cruz Face Wealth, Paranoia, And Fear In New Thriller

What happens when a dream opportunity begins to threaten everything you hold dear? The official teaser trailer for Bunker, the upcoming psychological thriller from writer and director Florian Zeller, explores the dark side of extreme wealth, growing paranoia, and a marriage pushed to its limits.

Starring Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, Bunker follows Miguel, a successful London architect who receives a prestigious offer to design a survival bunker for a tech billionaire. Although the project presents an opportunity to advance his career, it also draws Miguel and his wife, Sofia, into an increasingly unsettling world shaped by money, fear, and suspicion.

After 17 years together, Sofia begins questioning the strength of their relationship as the project takes hold of their lives. With their surroundings becoming more unnerving and an unsettling neighbor adding to their anxiety, the couple must confront the emotional and moral consequences of the world they are entering.

Blending domestic tension with psychological suspense, Bunker examines what happens when the desire for security collides with the fear of an uncertain future.
