Netflix
In 2019, The Platform premiered in theaters and became one of Netflix’s most-watched original films the next year. Directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, this Spanish dystopian thriller follows people imprisoned in a “Vertical Self-Management Center,” a tower in which a platform provides food to people on each floor once a day, starting at the top, creating desperation and conflict among the inmates. The film specifically focuses on Goreng (Iván Massagué), who voluntarily admits himself to this prison in exchange for a college degree only to start a revolution from within.

Now that this exciting follow-up has descended onto Netflix, here’s why audiences should catch up on the original film to prepare for the next course.
