Among Us

*Among Us* is an upcoming American science fiction horror film that is loosely based on the online multiplayer game of the same name. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and produced as a joint venture between OWA Studios and Netflix, the film is due to begin streaming on the service sometime in early 2021.

## Plot

In the near future, a crew composed of members of the United States Space Force is assembled to complete a relatively normal mission aboard the *U.S.S. Barack Obama.* However, as their ship hurdles further into space -- and further away from help and salvation -- crew members begin to turn up dead. As suspicion mounts and fear grows, they begin pointing fingers at one another. A fight for survival ensues as the dwindling number of survivors tries to identify the traitor in their midst before there is no one left alive on the ship to tell the tale.
