Netflix has released the first trailer for Unabomber, a thriller charting Ted Kaczynski’s transformation from a 16-year-old Harvard student into the domestic terrorist known as the Unabomber. The film examines the alleged effects of psychological experiments, ambition and isolation, and is being positioned as a significant autumn release for the streaming service.

Jacob Tremblay plays Kaczynski, while Russell Crowe portrays Harvard professor Henry Murray and Shailene Woodley plays FBI agent Joanne Miller, who leads the later manhunt. Directed by Janus Metz and written by Sam Chalsen and Nelson Greaves, the film also features Annabelle Wallis, Alexander Ludwig, Steven Ogg and Marc Menchaca; it is due to premiere on Netflix on 25 September.
