Set against the tense backdrop of the days leading up to the 1973 Chilean coup, WILD HORSE NINE follows CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) as they are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). What begins as a routine assignment quickly spirals into a collision of past secrets, present conspiracies, and unexpected alliances.
Among the Island’s iconic Moai statues, the longtime partners confront the shadows of their own histories — but Chris’s growing connection with two rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to derail the mission and send their remote getaway into chaos. What unfolds is a darkly comic, sharply drawn thriller from filmmaker Martin McDonagh, blending political tension with character‑driven drama in one of the world’s most isolated landscapes.
