The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 87 minutes.

What it is about

France’s new President Paul Archambault faces his first test when a nuclear crisis erupts after an attack on Russia’s leader. Trapped in a bunker beneath the Élysée Palace, he must make life-or-death choices as global tensions spiral.

What to expect

Jupiter confines its crisis to a single bunker beneath the Élysée Palace, where France’s new president, played by Denis Ménochet, weighs nuclear retaliation after an attack on Russia’s leader. Director Alexandre Smia keeps the 87-minute runtime tight around conversation and calculation rather than spectacle. The cast includes Ella Rumpf, Céline Sallette, Dominique Blanc, Reda Kateb, and André Dussollier, all working within the claustrophobic pressure of a chain of command where a phone call can shift the stakes. The movie is in French with English subtitles and opens in Hong Kong on 10 October 2026. No certificate has been announced yet, but the subject matter points to an adult rating. Given the short length and single-location setup, it is likely screening in standard digital formats.
