About Don't Look Up
Don't Look Up is a 2021 American political satire black comedy film written, co-produced, and directed by Adam McKay from a story he co-wrote with David Sirota. It stars an ensemble cast featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Tyler Perry, Timothée Chalamet, Ron Perlman, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Cate Blanchett, and Meryl Streep. The film tells the story of two astronomers attempting to warn humanity about an approaching comet that will destroy human civilization. The movie's central comet impact event was used by McKay as an allegory for threats arising from climate change. The film satirizes social, political, corporate, celebrity, and media indifference, in particular to the climate crisis, and parallels societal responses to science during the COVID-19 pandemic.
