Wild Horse Nine is a 2026 black comedy political thriller film written and directed by Martin McDonagh. A co-production of the United Kingdom, United States, and Chile, it stars John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, and Parker Posey. It is a fictional dark comedy/satire and is not a true story, although it is set against a real historical backdrop.
The setup: Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat, CIA bureau chief MJ dispatches officers Chris and Lee from Santiago to Easter Island. Among the island's iconic statues, the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, while Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone's trip to this remote paradise sideways.
