Night Moves Plot Summary
What happens in Night Moves from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Josh and Dena are members of an environmental organization that holds the belief that restoring the environment cannot be achieved through singular monumental actions but rather through a series of smaller battles. Their current focus? They are convinced that a local dam is wreaking havoc on the surroundings and see this as their chance to contribute to nature’s restoration.
Radical environmentalists, Josh (Jesse Eisenberg) and Dena (Dakota Fanning), set off on a mission—after purchasing a boat, they embark on a journey to meet Harman, an ex-Marine played by Peter Sarsgaard. During their trip, they find a doe dead on the roadside, and upon inspection, discover the doe is pregnant, with a fawn still alive inside her.
