The Among Us movie

There are actually two parts to the movie. The first movie begins in Mira HQ, where an astronaut is seen trying to fix a sabotage. He slowly makes his way to the spot, only to see a bunch of dead crewmates.

The astronaut picks up a knife to protect himself but finds the impostor hot on his tail. After a chase, he ends up locking himself in what looks like the cockpit of the ship, where to his bad luck, the impostor moves in for the kill.

The second movie is based in Polus. And it talks about the origin of the impostor, in accordance with the lore of the game that was posted on reddit. It shows how the impostor made it to the ship and slowly began eliminating one crewmate at a time.

The entire voting sequence is also shown, and when an innocent crewmate is finally voted out, the impostor reveals themselves to the crewmate before they're ejected into space.
