A House of Dynamite follows a group of White House and military officials as they attempt to block an unprecedented missile from hitting the United States. It's a race against the clock as the team tries to determine who is responsible and how the country should respond. As the 18-minute timeframe from the missile launch to the attack continues, A House of Dynamite explores the unseen roles in protecting a country during its most sensitive hour. Will There Be A House of Dynamite 2? No, despite online rumors, there are no plans to produce a sequel to A House of Dynamite. Director Kathryn explained to Netflix's Tudum that she wanted audiences "to leave theaters thinking, 'OK, what do we do now?'" "This is a global issue, and of course, I hope against hope that maybe we reduce the nuclear stockpile someday," Kathryn noted. "But in the meantime, we really are living in a house of dynamite. I felt it was so important to get that information out there, so we could start a conversation. That's the explosion we're interested in - the conversation people have about the film afterward."
