Plot
This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience. |
The plot begins in 1998 on a television series' soundstage, where we see Gordy the Chimpanzee attack fellow actors brutally.
Cut to present time where Otis Haywood Sr., who runs the Haywood Hollywood Horse ranch is hit by falling objects from the sky and dies. Responsibility of running the ranch falls on his son OJ Haywood and his sister Emerald Haywood.
Em mentions the famous video of a "Man on the Horse" recorded by Eadweard Muybridge on a film set and tells that everyone remembers the person who took the picture but doesn't remember the name of the black jockey who was famously riding that horse. That jockey was their grandpa.
It has been 6 months since their father died, and OJ has started to sell his horses to the nearby ranch/carnival owner, Ricky "Jupe" Park. Park recently moved in and became their neighbor, and now runs Jupiter's Claim. Park was one of the co-stars of The Gordy Show back in 1998 and had seen the brutal event happen live. He loves to relive that event and make money from it.
The shots of the "aliens" that we see is a misdirection, as its Ricky "Jupe" Park’s children dressed as those little aliens. The Haywood’s notice their horses vanishing at night. OJ notices something that resembles a spaceship. Emerald and he decide that if they can get a good video recording of this alien spaceship, they could make good money of it. And so, begins their pursuit to get that recording. They get help from a tech salesman working at Fry's who sets up their surveillance, and himself is very much interested in the stories of aliens.
Ricky "Jupe" Park organizes a show in Jupiter’s Claim, where the centerpiece event is showcasing a horse being devoured by something. His plan backfires when the alien spaceship ends up devouring every single one of the 40 folks who had come to see the show. OJ figures out that looking directly at the spaceship is what gets you eaten.
A flashback sequence happens at the soundstage of a television series, where we see Gordy the Chimpanzee losing his mind and going on a crazy attacking rampage. He attacks the white girl playing Park’s sister and attacks the white guy playing Park's dad. Park, who is hiding under a table when all this is happening, is finally found by Gordy, but for some reason Gordy doesn't attack him, he fist bumps him, the same way he does it on the show with Ricky.
Emerald, OJ, and Angel Torres combine their wits and try to get a recording of the spaceship but fail miserably. They bring in a famous documentarian Antlers Holst, whom they had met on set, to help them out with this recording as he's famous for recording quite difficult footages.
Whenever the alien spaceship hovers over you, all and every kind of electronic device shuts down. So, Antlers brings with him an old school analog IMAX camera for capturing the footage. They lay out a plan and wait for Jean Jacket to show up. They almost get the footage when Antlers gets devoured by Jean Jacket.
The final showdown happens between Emerald who rides a bike back to Jupiter's Claim, and OJ who is on a horse trying to get the alien to get away from his sister. Emerald makes it follow her and gets to a Winking Well that takes analog pictures. She also unfurls a giant-sized Cowboy balloon, that gets devoured by the alien. And while its being devoured, Em manages to get few pictures using the Winking Well. The balloon explodes, killing the alien from inside.
The last shot is of Emerald looking at the pictures of the alien, and then looking at the gate of Jupiter's Claim which has 'Out Yonder' written on it. And through the fog and mist, she sees a 'Man on the Horse', she sees her brother.

Production
On October 1, 2019, Universal Pictures announced a five-year exclusive production partnership with Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions.[1] Nope, then an untitled project, was announced on November 9, 2020, with Peele set to write, direct, and produce.[2] He said, "I wrote it in a time when we were a little bit worried about the future of cinema. So the first thing I knew is I wanted to create a spectacle. I wanted to create something that the audience would have to come see."[3] Peele cited King Kong and Jurassic Park, movies about humanity's addiction to spectacle, along with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Signs, and The Wizard of Oz as influences in his writing.[4][5] He explained his decision to include a major focus on clouds in the film, "The beauty of the sky is enthralling — the first movies, in a way. Every now and then you'll see a cloud that sits alone and is too low, and it gives me this vertigo and this sense of Presence with a capital P. I can't describe it, but I knew if I could bottle that and put it into a horror movie, it might change the way people look at the sky."[4] In February 2021, it was reported Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya had joined the cast while Jesse Plemons turned down a role in favor of starring in Killers of the Flower Moon instead.[6][7][8] Peele wrote the script with Kaluuya in mind for the role of OJ Haywood.[9] In March, Steven Yeun was added to the cast.[10]
Principal photography took place in the Agua Dulce desert in northern Los Angeles County.[11] The production received an estimated $8,364,000 worth of tax credits to shoot the film in the state of California.[12] The film was shot on a budget of $68 million after incentives.[11] It was the first to employ trainees (in this case, six) from Universal Filmed Entertainment Group's California Below-the-Line Traineeship for individuals seeking careers behind the camera.[13][14] Nope was shot by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema using Kodak film, including 65mm film in IMAX format.[15] On July 22, 2021, Peele revealed the film's title and shared its first promotional release poster, and further castings were confirmed.[16][17] Peele chose Nope as the title because he wanted to acknowledge movie audiences and their expected reactions to the film.[18] He also said, however, that he had considered titling the film Little Green Men to reference a theme in the film about humanity's "monetization of spectacle."[19] The 1972 Western film Buck and the Preacher, starring Sidney Poitier, is featured throughout the film; Peele said it was "the first film that that I know of that had Black cowboys represented in it. The myth that cowboys were just white guys running around, it's just not true, but we don't know that because of Hollywood and the romanticized view of a very brutalized era. The film, it shares a spirit."[4] For her introductory scene, which also opens the film's first trailer, Palmer shot fourteen takes of Emerald's monologue about her and OJ's family's history, which initially was not in the script prior to principal photography. Peele described each take as "...very wildly different, uncuttably so. But just a tour to force [sic], one of these things where you see somebody like, 'I'm going to make this choice this time and go for it.' There's improv in there."[20]
Marketing
The release of a teaser poster in July 2021 and first-look images in February 2022 were followed by a trailer on February 13, 2022.[21][22] The advertisement, featuring the 1962 Regal Theater recording of Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips",[23][24] was praised by critics for simultaneously creating suspense and keeping the storyline under wraps; some reviewers began to speculate the film would be about extraterrestrial life.[23][25][26] Jeremy Mathai of /Film said it "immediately lit the internet on fire and sent fans scurrying for answers as to whether the main antagonist of the film could really be alien invaders from outer space or if Peele has yet another trick up his sleeve."[27] Jordan Hoffman from Vanity Fair said he enjoyed the song choice and an included static shot with scrolling text, which he compared to a similar shot in the trailer for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.[23] The Verge's Charles Pulliam-Moore called it "one of the rare modern movies with this much hype around it to make it this close to its release date without the public knowing basically anything about it."[28] The trailer was also broadcast during Super Bowl LVI, and it earned 86 million views across social media websites during the 24 hours after it aired.[29]
A second poster showing a floating horse was released on March 1, 2022.[30][31] Bloody Disgusting's John Squires said it was "entirely possible that Nope isn't at all the movie it thus far appears to be, with the marketing throwing us off the scent."[32] Lex Briscuso from /Film said that "despite the fact that the new visual doesn't give us very many fresh clues, I'm just happy to see new content continue to pop up out of the blue".[33] On April 16, the NBA Playoffs cross-promoted the film with a clip starring NBA player Stephen Curry. Larry Fitzmaurice of BuzzFeed called it "terrifyingly funny".[34] On April 27, additional footage was shown to around 3,000 exhibition insiders at CinemaCon; Peele asked attendees to be discreet and not reveal any detail about the story.[35][36] This footage, depicting several characters saying a variation of the word "nope", was later aired as a 30-second television spot during the NBA Finals, confirming the existence of UFOs in the film.[37] Jeremy Methai of /Film called it "thrilling" and noted similarities to the filmography of Steven Spielberg while expressing his belief that "there's something much more going on underneath beyond the extremely easy answer of extraterrestrials terrorizing our helpless protagonists."[27] Four character posters were released on June 7, 2022, with a featurette released the next day.[38][39] The final trailer was released on June 9, 2022, featuring The Undisputed Truth's 1971 rendition of The Temptations' "Ball of Confusion". Reviewers noted its lighter tone and said it did a better job at explaining the premise.[40][41][42] Justin Carter of Gizmodo said it was reasonable to believe the trailer shared too much information, inadvertently robbing audiences from any potential mystery in the story.[43]
In June 2022, the Motion Picture Association gave the film an "R" rating for "language throughout and some violence/bloody images".[44] Marco Vito Oddo of Collider mentioned the lack of violence in the trailers but said the rating was not surprising, as Peele's other films Get Out and Us had been rated "R" for similar reasons.[45] IMAX and Dolby posters were released by the end of June 2022.[46][47] On July 1, an interactive website for Jupiter's Claim, the fictional theme park Yeun's character owns in the film, was published; in addition to providing hints of the plot, it held weekly drawings with in-world prizes.[48] Valerie Ettenhofer of /Film compared a poster on the website for a fictional film titled Kid Sheriff to the poster for the 2003 comedy film Holes. She described the website as "wonderfully interactive, sort of like an old Flash game site, but it also gives some insight into what Nope might be about."[49] A real-world version of Jupiter's Claim was added permanently as a part of Universal Studios Hollywood's Studio Tour on July 22, making it the first Studio Tour attraction to open the same day the movie it replicates opens in theaters.[50][51]
Release
The film premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on July 18, 2022.[52] It was released in theaters in the United States on July 22, 2022, by Universal Pictures. The theatrical release date was first revealed in November 2020.[53] The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will host a special screening of the film at Sunset Ranch Hollywood on July 25, 2022.[54]
Reception
Box office
In the United States and Canada, Nope is projected to gross around $50 million from 3,700 theaters in its opening weekend.[11]
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 81% of 157 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Admirable for its originality and ambition even when its reach exceeds its grasp, Nope adds Spielbergian spectacle to Jordan Peele's growing arsenal."[55] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 77 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[56]
Chris Evangelista of /Film wrote that "Nope may not be Jordan Peele's best movie to date, but it is his most enjoyable. A true summer movie spectacle meant to be writ large across the screen, giving us thrills, chills, laughs, and that most precious of things: movie magic."[57] David Ehrlich of IndieWire praised the film, saying "It doesn’t hurt that Peele’s latest boasts some of the most inspired alien design since H. R. Giger left his mark on the genre, or that Kaluuya’s eyes remain some of Hollywood’s most special effects, as Nope gets almost as much mileage from their weariness as Get Out squeezed from their clarity. It’s through them that Nope searches for a new way of seeing, returns the Haywoods to their rightful place in film history, and creates the rare Hollywood spectacle that doesn’t leave us looking for more."[58] Ben Kendrick of Screen Rant called it "a love letter to filmmaking" and called Brandon Perea's portrayal of Angel Torres a "stand-out" among the supporting cast, while praising Kaluuya and Palmer's performances.[59] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair was mixed about the film, saying "As Nope swerves and reels, it often seems distracted by itself, unable to hold its focus on any one thing long enough for deeper meaning, or feeling, to coalesce."[60] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap wrote "This ultimately feels like four very promising movies mashed together, with spectacular highlights bumping into each other in a way that’s ultimately lacking, even as they all demonstrate the prowess and bravado of the filmmaker."[61]
