Knives Out

Synopsis

The jubilee of the elderly and very wealthy writer Harlan Thrombey turns into his funeral: after the festivities, the hero of the day is found with his throat cut. At first, everyone considers his death a suicide, but after the funeral, police officers and a private detective Benoit Blanc appear on the threshold of the luxurious estate. The servants of the law have an understandable suspicion that someone helped pass Mr Thrombey. Blanc interrogates all the witnesses, and every relative of the writer is under suspicion. The family mansion turns into a dwelling of people who hate each other.
