Mountainhead

Four wealthy friends, known as the Brewsters, arrive at Souper's remote mountain home called 'Mountainhead' for a private retreat. The purpose is to reconnect away from their business concerns amidst growing global upheaval regarding AI-generated disinformation.

As the friends settle in, it becomes clear that each has hidden agendas. Ven wants to acquire Bilter for its technology, Jeff hopes to maintain control over his company, Randall desires to see Traam flourish due to a health crisis, and Souper aims to gain investments for his lifestyle app.

Immediately after their arrival, Jeff and Ven engage in a heated discussion regarding the implications of Traam's features. The other Brewsters pressure Jeff into selling Bilter, showcasing the growing tension among the group.

The group partakes in a Brewster ritual, writing their net worths on their chests with lipstick. This playful act serves to underline the competitive nature of their friendship as they rank themselves, deepening the underlying tensions.

Upon returning from their ritual, the Brewsters recognize that the chaos instigated by Traam has escalated significantly. Governments around the world are struggling, leading to increased frustrations among the friends.

Jeff's net worth surpasses Randall's due to Bilter's stock surge, which triggers an outburst from Randall. The argument highlights the fragile dynamics of wealth and power within the group.

In a secret meeting, Jeff approaches Randall with a plan to gain control of Traam from Ven and comply with government regulations. This proposition exposes the fractures in their friendship as they plot against each other.

Randall reveals Jeff's proposal to Ven and Souper, leading them to devise a deadly plot against Jeff. This marks a pivotal moment where friendship turns into treachery as they plan to eliminate Jeff to seize control.

The group embarks on two failed attempts to kill Jeff, showcasing their descent into madness and paranoia. During a frantic chase through the house, Jeff strives to stave off his impending doom.

Cornered in the sauna, Jeff hastily writes an agreement to transfer Bilter to Traam, hoping to secure his life in the process. The others reluctantly agree to his terms, revealing how far they have fallen from their initial camaraderie.

The next morning, Jeff confronts his friends about the day's events, refusing to let the deal finalize. The three remaining Brewsters admit they have lost interest in their plan to overthrow governments and begin to reflect on their actions.

Before leaving Mountainhead, Ven surprises Jeff with a legitimate offer for the Bilter deal, excluding Randall. Jeff agrees, raising further tensions among the friends as calculations of betrayal and power play out.

Randall witnesses the agreement between Jeff and Ven from a distance, feeling dejected and sidelined. This moment highlights the isolation of those unable to maintain power in their friendships.

In the aftermath of the deal, Souper finally achieves billionaire status thanks to Jeff's partnership. Overlooking the beautiful mountain scenery, he engages in a meditation exercise, a testament to his newfound tranquility amid chaos.
