John Du Pont has been able to buy his way to victory all his life.

In this shocking real life tale of obsession, Du Pont, in an incredible performance by Steve Carrell (The Office), comes to meet a pair of Olympic wrestling champions who seem to be destined for greatness. A calculating and eccentric man, Du Pont feels certain that he could be a perfect benefactor for the brothers. When he sets his sights on coaching Mark (Channing Tatum, Magic Mike), the down-on-his-luck brother who feels resentful of success of Dave (Mark Ruffalo, The Avengers), the three men become dangerously entangled in each others lives. While John's mental health slowly unravels, he becomes increasingly focused on pushing Mark to success, resulting in an event that creates haunting consequences.

Featuring unforgettable performances and heart-pounding drama, Foxcatcher is a Greek tragedy told on a quiet, human scale. CANNES, BEST DIRECTOR.
