Jordan Peele's highly-anticipated sci-fi horror, Nope, is all set to hit theaters this weekend and it's hard to keep calm.
Directed, written and produced by Jordan Peele, the film follows estranged siblings Emerals and OJ Haywood who reunite upon the mysterious death of their father at their family's ranch in California.
Supernatural occurrences take over, affecting human and animal behavior around them. This makes the siblings believe that their father's death was related to a giant cloud-like UFO appearing in the sky, urging them to try and capture proof of its existence on camera.
