Weapons is a 2025 American supernatural mystery horror film directed, written, co-produced, and co-scored by Zach Cregger. It stars an ensemble cast including Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Toby Huss, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. Its plot follows the case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously run away on the same night at the same time.
After the critical and commercial success of his film Barbarian (2022), Cregger began working on the spec script for Weapons. It prompted a bidding war between several studios, with New Line Cinema emerging as the victor. Initially intended to film from May to July 2023, several actors dropped out due to conflicts caused by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Casting resumed in February 2024 and ended in May of that year. Filming then began in Atlanta, concluding in July.
