Spoilers ahead
Riding through the bustling streets of Manhattan in the confines of a luxurious stretch limousine, Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson), a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager, embarks on what should have been a simple journey to get a haircut. However, his seemingly ordinary day quickly spirals into a chaotic odyssey as he encounters a diverse array of characters who begin to unravel his meticulously crafted existence.
Stuck in relentless traffic caused by the visit of the President of the United States and the funeral of his beloved musician, whose melodies accompany him in one of his two private elevators, Eric finds himself increasingly detached from reality. Recently married, he struggles with his relationship; his wife, whose energy is diverted towards her demanding career, avoids intimacy, leaving him to seek solace elsewhere.
