The Duel

When a friend group is torn apart by betrayal, they decide to settle their differences in the most old school of ways. Leaving their modern home of Los Angeles, they embark on a bizarre adventure that seemingly takes them back in time across an underground cave river. Cocaine. Existentialism. A four hundred and fifty pound pig. True love. Cosmic jokes. Mexico?

Directed by Luke Spencer Roberts, Justin Matthews, The Duel leans on a strong ensemble — Dylan Sprouse, Callan McAuliffe, Patrick Warburton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
