Y2K

Y2K, directed by Kyle Mooney, is a comedic romp through the chaos and absurdity of the turn-of-the-millennium panic.

Set on New Year’s Eve 1999, the film follows two slacker friends, played by Jaeden Martell and Mason Gooding, who find themselves in the middle of a wild house party as they try to save their hacker friend (Rachel Zegler) from the havoc she inadvertently unleashed on the world’s computer systems. As midnight approaches and Y2K hysteria peaks, the trio faces hilarious mishaps, bizarre party antics, and unexpected revelations, all while attempting to prevent a seemingly catastrophic meltdown.
