Charlize Theron will be fighting for her life next year in the Netflix survival thriller Apex, and the first images from the upcoming streaming movie have been released by PEOPLE.
Described as Free Solo meets Silence of the Lambs, which is certainly an interesting hook, Apex also stars Taron Egerton (Carry-On) and Eric Bana (Deliver Us from Evil).
Egerton plays the killer hunting down Theron’s character.
Apex will release April 24, 2026 only on Netflix. Preview the film below.
Written by Jeremy Robbins (“The Purge” television series), Netflix’s Apex starring Charlize Theron “follows a rock climber who finds herself being hunted in the wild.”
This logline gives a better idea of the Silence of the Lambs comparison: “When an adrenaline junkie sets out to conquer a menacing river, she discovers that nature isn’t the only thing out for blood.” It’s the type of premise that feels designed to get the adrenaline pumping.”
Baltasar Kormákur (Touch) directed Apex. Theron produced the project along with Dawn Olmstead, Beth Kono, and AJ Dix via their newly launched media company.
