Utopia, a sci-fi thriller directed by James Bamford, follows a soldier in search of his missing wife in a high-tech world where reality and illusion merge. Available on Paramount+ from March 1, 2025.

In Utopia, a soldier, played by Moe Dunford, infiltrates an ultra-modern facility in the hope of finding his missing wife, whom he believes to be trapped in a human trafficking ring. But what he discovers exceeds all his expectations. Behind the walls of this high-tech complex, he enters a surreal world where certainties waver, and every step threatens to send him into a spiral of uncontrollable illusions.

Inspired by dystopian and psychological thrillers, Utopia plays with the codes of science fiction, exploring a world where the boundaries between the real and the virtual are deliberately blurred.

Utopia will be available exclusively on Paramount+ from March 1, 2025.

Synopsis: A soldier infiltrates a high-tech facility in a desperate attempt to rescue his missing wife, whom he believes is being held in a human trafficking ring. But beyond the facility, he discovers a surreal, futuristic world where the boundaries between reality and illusion become blurred.

The plot of Utopia is based on a breathtaking mystery, in which the hero must distinguish truth from falsehood while battling invisible forces that manipulate his environment. With its action sequences and unsettling atmosphere, the film promises to be immersive and intense, at the crossroads between paranoid thriller and immersive science fiction.

Moe Dunford, who made a name for himself in Vikings, plays this soldier who will do anything to unravel the truth. Alongside him, Charlotte Vega (La Llorona), Michael D. Xavier(Gentleman Jack), Alix Villaret and Wanda Banda take part in this mysterious universe, where every character could be an illusion.

With its themes of technological manipulation, memory and the loss of reference points, Utopia follows in the footsteps of films such as Inception, Ex Machina and Source Code, in which the line between illusion and reality is gradually blurred.

Thanks to the direction of James Bamford, a specialist in action series such as Arrow, the film promises constant tension, accentuated by a disturbing high-tech universe and futuristic art direction.

With Utopia, Paramount+ bets on a captivating psychological thriller, where science fiction serves up an intense tale of truth and manipulation.
