Video: Watch the Trailer for THE OATH, a Political Comedy Starring Ike Barinholtz and Tiffany Haddish

Watch the trailer for THE OATH, from the producers of GET OUT & BLACKkKLANSMAN, a raw and riotous political comedy for divisive times starring Ike Barinholtz and Tiffany Haddish.
A controversial White House policy turns family member against family member in THE OATH, a savagely funny dark comedy about surviving life and Thanksgiving in the age of political tribalism. When Chris (Ike Barinholtz), a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife Kai (Tiffany Haddish) learn that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the President, their reaction is disbelief, followed by idealistic refusal. But as the Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris's own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents (John Cho and Billy Magnussen) sends an already tense holiday dinner gathering completely off the rails. As timely as it is outrageous, THE OATH is a gleefully wicked reinvention of the traditional holiday comedy for our divisive political times.

Roadside Attractions will release THE OATH in theaters October 12, 2018.

THE OATH was written and directed by Ike Barinholtz. Producers on the film include Sean McKittrick, Ray Mansfield, Barinholtz, David Stassen, and Andrew Robinson. Tiffany Haddish, Edward H. Hamm Jr. and Kristen Murtha are executive producing. The film also stars John Cho, Carrie Brownstein, Billy Magnussen, Meredith Hagner, Jon Barinholtz, Nora Dunn, and Chris Ellis.
