OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya), the lead character of Jordan Peele’s new horror movie Nope, runs a ranch for horses, which are used in various entertainment properties (ranging from commercials to The Scorpion King). This domicile has belonged to his family for years, but after the sudden death of his father, who supposedly died after getting hit with debris from an airplane, getting reminded of the past feels more like a burden than a gift to OJ. Feeling adrift, some direction comes into his life when, whilst tending to his horses one night, OJ spies...something moving in the sky. His sister, Emerald (Keke Palmer), happily jumps into OJ’s plan to film whatever’s out there. This could be it, a chance to solve their money problems and maybe get some answers about what thing killed their father.
