Billionaires Crack in Jesse Armstrong’s Mountainhead

In a remote mountain cabin, four tech billionaires scramble to justify their power as the world outside burns.

Sky has unveiled the official trailer and key art for Mountainhead, a darkly comic look at tech wealth and unchecked power written and directed by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. The Sky Exclusive film marks Armstrong’s directorial debut and arrives June 1 on Sky and streaming platform NOW. Known for his razor-sharp take on elite dysfunction, Armstrong now shifts from boardrooms to snow-covered isolation, casting a satirical eye on Silicon Valley’s self-made gods.

TV

Set in a luxurious mountain cabin far from the real-world chaos, Mountainhead follows four tech titans as they retreat from society just as a global financial crisis unfolds. Steve Carell leads the ensemble as Randall, joined by Jason Schwartzman as the eccentric Hugo Van Yalk, Cory Michael Smith as the smug social media mogul Venis, and Ramy Youssef as the soft-spoken but complicit Jeff. Despite their varying personalities, each of them profits from platforms that shap, and arguably damage, modern life.

Armstrong’s script wastes no time digging into that damage. As news breaks that Venis’ AI-fueled platform, Traam, may have helped incite real-world violence, the men slip into a moral blame game. Their interactions begin with corporate platitudes and self-congratulation, but as the stakes rise, so does their paranoia, and the audience’s discomfort.

Though positioned as a satire, Mountainhead feels eerily grounded in present-day reality. With AI controversies and billionaire escapism dominating headlines, Armstrong’s film channels the absurdity of tech elites who believe they’re immune to the chaos they help create. Its sharp dialogue and claustrophobic setting evoke both farce and slow-burning dread.

Beyond the leads, the supporting cast includes Hadley Robinson as Hester, Andy Daly as Casper, and Daniel Oreskes as Dr. Phipps. Their presence adds texture to the film’s retreat-from-reality atmosphere, one that feels increasingly fragile as the group’s delusions unravel. With each character standing in for a familiar tech archetype, Mountainhead presents a chillingly sharp critique of today’s ultra-wealthy elite.

The film is executive produced by Armstrong alongside longtime collaborators Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Tony Roche, Jon Brown, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod, and Jill Footlick. Known for dissecting the pathology of wealth with surgical precision, this team brings the same unease and sharp wit that powered Succession. But in Mountainhead, Armstrong offers something more direct: a cautionary tale that feels all too believable.
