The director's dramatic thriller Lance Oppenheim, Primetimewas released today in American theaters by the indie studio A24.
The film stars and is produced by Robert Pattinsonas Chris Hansen, the iconic TV show host, To Catch a Predator.
The plot is set in 2006a year that marked an important chapter for the program To Catch a Predatorwhich followed Hansen and a camera crew as they attempted to catch pedophiles in complex sting operations. The show aired from 2004 to 2007 on NBC, and despite only having aired 20 episodes, it was so popular that it continues to be a cultural reference in television history and investigative journalism.
One of the most notorious cases occurred in 2006, when Kaufman County Deputy District Attorney Bill Conradt committed suicide at his Texas residence when law enforcement officers and an NBC camera crew burst into his home as part of an investigation into the show. Conradt's case was part of a four-day undercover operation in Murphy, Texas, that resulted in the capture of 25 men. The operation generated a strong negative reaction from local residents, and the Collin County prosecutor's office declined to prosecute any of those arrested.

The cast also includes Merritt Wever (Severance, Unbelievable), Skyler Gisondo (Licorice Pizza), Phoebe Bridgers (I Saw the TV Glow), Sean Bridgers (Room), y Matthew Maher (Outer Range).
