Steve Carell and Ramy Youssef Lead Billionaire Tech Satire ‘Mountainhead’ from ‘Succession’ Creator

Date:

Max has unveiled the first teaser for Mountainhead, a sharp-edged satire starring Steve Carell and Ramy Youssef as ultra-wealthy tech moguls caught in the eye of a global storm. Directed and written by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, the film follows four tech billionaires—played by Carell, Youssef, Cory Michael Smith, and Jason Schwartzman—as they retreat to a lavish mountain estate during a time of worldwide crisis.
In the teaser, tension builds when the group receives a direct call from the U.S. president. As they speculate about the urgent message, Youssef’s character bluntly jokes that their platforms have fueled chaos: “That your platform has inflamed a volatile situation, circulating unfalsifiable deep fakes, massive fraud, market instability.”
The film satirizes modern tech culture and billionaire detachment, emphasizing the group’s staggering combined net worth of $371 billion and their “zero culpability” in the damage their innovations may have caused.
Mountainhead premieres May 31 on Max and promises a biting, timely commentary on power, accountability, and the tech elite’s role in shaping global crises.
