Wild Horse Nine (2026)

What earned the score

• U.S. Interventionism as Political Harm

  The story casts the CIA’s mission in Chile amid Salvador Allende’s election as a dark indictment of American interventionism: the agency’s destabilization of an elected government and role in enabling brutal fascist regimes portray U.S. power abroad as a source of political harm.

• Faith Framed Against Democracy

  A Catholic priest speaks against newly elected president Salvador Allende, angering young parishioners; the scene casts the Church as opposing the popular will.

Details

Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris and Lee are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ. Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.
