In a Fort Worth motel room, two men and an eight-year-old boy are packing up to move on. We hear a TV news report: a search is underway for the boy, who has been abducted.
But that isn’t what’s really going on. One of the men, Roy Tomlin (Michael Shannon), is the boy’s father; the other is Roy’s friend Lucas (Joel Edgerton), a Texas state trooper. And the boy, whose name is Alton (Jaeden Lieberher) and who wears strange blue goggles and big noise-blocking headphones, is actually calling the shots here. Alton says there’s someplace he has to be in exactly four days, and Roy and Lucas are trying their best to get him there. At the same time, a swarm of FBI agents, a nervous NSA analyst and a pair of end-times religious fundamentalists are doing their best to stop them. It’s all pretty strange, and it keeps getting stranger, writes Kurt Loder.
