'The End of Oak Street' Star Christian Convery Calls Anne Hathaway His 'Hero'
A wormhole unleashes dinosaurs on a suburban family, and the 99-minute survival thriller follows the Platts as they fight to escape.
- Director David Robert Mitchell transports a 1982 Michigan family into prehistoric chaos in his 2026 blockbuster The End of Oak Street, forcing the Platt family to survive rampaging dinosaurs in their suburban neighborhood.
- Before the cosmic event, the Platts maintained Reagan-era suburban rituals; parents Denise and Greg, children Audrey and Brian, and dog Starbuck were unexpectedly displaced 250 million years into the past.
- Cinematographer Michael Gioulakis creates spatial menace using Split-diopter compositions that hold foreground and background in simultaneous focus, while Mitchell stages encounters with predators like The Allosaurus to make the suburban environment feel unsafe.
- Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor deliver performances on a campier frequency; Hathaway commits fully to her role as a suburban dinosaur-slayer, while McGregor plays Greg with wounded earnestness amid the film's broad tonal shifts.
- Produced by Abrams, the 99-minute film serves as an unabashed love letter to Amblin, with Mitchell packing Spielberg-style suspense throughout and evoking the visual lexicon of Jurassic Park.
