What would you sacrifice to become the greatest of all time?
From Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, comes a chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, idolatry and the pursuit of excellence at any cost, featuring an electrifying dramatic performance from Marlon Wayans (Air, Respect).
Wayans sheds expectations to embody a mentor whose charisma masks something far more insidious. And former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers brings emotional intensity and vulnerability, capturing the mental unraveling at the story’s core.
More than just a thriller, HIM invites audiences to question the nature of control, the cost of ambition, and the limits of self-trust. it speaks to the pressure of forging a path in spaces that rarely reflect our identity, the burden of meeting family and community expectations, and the resilience it takes to stay true to who we are. With its layered themes and compelling narrative, HIM leaves a mark that lingers long after the credits roll.
HIM stars former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by anunhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.
Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.
