Wild Horse Nine
Martin McDonagh | UK, US, Chile | 2026 | 117m | 15
Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris and Lee are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ. Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.
Wild Horse Nine is also part of our Power, Corruption and Lies on Screen Season, a themed run of films exploring how power can be misused, how corruption develops, and how truth can be manipulated. Following two CIA agents entangled in political upheaval, the film explores what it means to operate inside systems of power. As loyalties fracture and motives blur, Wild Horse Nine offers a sardonic perspective on corruption from within.
It’s like a book group … but with films… It’s a Film + Discussion + Coffee evening and everyone is welcome to attend. No membership required. An audience or staff member will give a short introduction, and afterwards you are warmly invited to stay on for an informal post-film discussion over a cuppa. However, there is no obligation to join the discussion.
