First trailer for “Send Help” debuts

LOS ANGELES — 20th Century Studios has released the first trailer and poster for “Send Help,” the upcoming darkly comedic psychological thriller from director Sam Raimi. The all-original film arrives in theaters nationwide on January 30, 2026.

In the trailer, audiences meet Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) and Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien), two colleagues who survive a plane crash and find themselves stranded on a deserted island. Forced to rely on each other, they face both physical and psychological challenges that test their limits. What begins as cooperation soon turns into a darkly humorous and tense battle of wills.

“I’ve always loved stories where interesting, dynamic characters are pushed to extremes,” said director Sam Raimi. “In our story, the power shifts create an escalating situation that’s brimming with unexpected turns and suspense.”

The film stars Rachel McAdams (“Spotlight,” “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.”), Dylan O’Brien (“Twinless,” “Saturday Night”), Edyll Ismail (“La Brea”), Dennis Haysbert (“Far from Heaven”), Xavier Samuel (“Elvis”), Chris Pang (“Crazy Rich Asians”), Thaneth Warakulnukroh (“Thai Cave Rescue”) and Emma Raimi (“Happy Pills”).

“Send Help” is produced by Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi (“65”), executive produced by JJ Hook (“The Amateur”) and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (“Friday the 13th,” “Baywatch”). The original score is composed by Danny Elfman (“The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Batman”).

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of 20th Century Studios and this ABC station.
