Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery recap
In May 2020, tech billionaire Miles Bron invites his old friends, the "disruptors", to his private Greek island for a murder mystery game: Connecticut governor Claire Debella, scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer Birdie Jay and her assistant Peg, men's rights streamer Duke Cody and his girlfriend Whiskey, and his former business partner Cassandra "Andi" Brand, whom he forced out of their company Alpha. Benoit Blanc arrives with an invitation Miles never sent. Blanc solves Miles' game in minutes. Andi is cold to everyone, and they all depend on Miles and lied in court to back him over Andi. Duke drops dead after drinking from Miles' glass, the lights go out, and a gunshot hits Andi. Blanc reveals that Andi died a week earlier, and the woman on the island is her twin sister Helen, who came with Blanc to find the proof that Miles killed her.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery ending explained
Blanc explains that Miles killed Andi to destroy the napkin proving she founded Alpha, then poisoned Duke, who had worked it out. Helen survived the shot thanks to Andi's journal in her pocket, but Miles burns the napkin. Helen smashes his glass sculptures and sets fire to the Glass Onion with his dangerous Klear fuel, destroying the Mona Lisa on loan there. The guests turn on Miles at last, and he faces ruin.
