Changing Lanes

One wrong turn deserves another.

Directed by Roger Michell

Produced by Paramount Pictures, Scott Rudin Productions

A taut urban thriller about two strangers locked in escalating mutual destruction after a minor car accident, exploring how quickly civility collapses under pressure and personal desperation.

A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City's crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn't set off a chain reaction that could decimate two people's lives. But on this day, at this time, a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying each other might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same: Each will systematically try to dismantle the other's life in a reckless effort to reclaim something he has lost.
