The story
Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.
Get Out recap
Get Out (2017) follows a young Black photographer whose weekend at his white girlfriend's family estate turns into a trap. Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) drives upstate with Rose Armitage (Allison Williams) to meet her parents, neurosurgeon Dean (Bradley Whitford) and psychiatrist Missy (Catherine Keener). The family's Black housekeeper Georgina (Betty Gabriel) and groundskeeper Walter act strangely. Missy hypnotises Chris with a teaspoon against a teacup, supposedly to cure his smoking, and he sinks into a paralysed void she calls the sunken place. At a garden party of wealthy white guests, a Black man named Logan King (LaKeith Stanfield) shouts at Chris to get out when a camera flash goes off. Chris's friend Rod Williams (Lil Rel Howery), a TSA officer, recognises Logan as a missing man. Jordan Peele wrote and directed it, his first feature, and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It begins his directing career, before Us.
Get Out ending explained
Get Out ends with Chris escaping the Armitage house and Rod arriving to take him home. Chris learns the family transplants the brains of white buyers into Black bodies; a blind art dealer has bought his. Plugging his ears with stuffing from the chair, he resists the hypnosis and kills Dean, Missy and Rose's brother Jeremy. Walter, carrying Rose's grandfather's mind, is freed briefly by a phone flash and shoots Rose and then himself. A police car pulls up, but it is Rod. Peele has said he shot an alternate ending in which police arrest Chris.
