A discarded tire comes to life in the California desert, discovers it can kill with telepathic force, and rolls toward a nearby town with a fixation on a mysterious young woman. Quentin Dupieux builds the film around that deadpan, absurd premise, cutting between the tire’s attacks and a group of stunned spectators trying to make sense of what they’re seeing. Stephen Spinella and Jack Plotnick are among the humans caught in its path, as the story drifts between desert horror, dry comedy, and self-aware mystery.
