Netflix Releases Official Trailer for Film ‘Unabomber’

Netflix released the official trailer for the true-story crime thriller ‘Unabomber’ on August 27, 2026. The trailer opens with a victim being killed by a mail bomb in 1994 before going back to the past of Ted Kaczynski, the man who sent the bomb. The film will be released worldwide on Netflix on September 25, 2026.

The film traces how Ted Kaczynski, once a brilliant young student at Harvard University, became the infamous serial bomber known as the ‘Unabomber,’ one of the most notorious terrorists in U.S. history. In reality, Kaczynski carried out bombings across the United States from 1978 to 1995, killing three people and injuring 23. The story moves between the young Kaczynski during his time at Harvard in 1958 and the extensive FBI investigation that later pursued him.

Jacob Tremblay, who drew attention for *Room*, plays Ted Kaczynski, while Academy Award winner Russell Crowe plays Henry Murray, a prominent psychologist who develops a twisted relationship with Kaczynski. Shailene Woodley portrays FBI agent Joanne Miller, who is assigned to capture the Unabomber, with Annabelle Wallis, Alexander Ludwig, Stephen Ogg, and Mark Menchaca also joining the cast.

The film is directed by Danish filmmaker Janus Metz, known for the Disney+ series *Andor* and the film *Borg vs. McEnroe*, with a screenplay by Sam Chalson and Nelson Greaves. Produced with the participation of 2.0 Entertainment and MRC Film, it is a biographical thriller rated R in the United States.
