Collider is running a competition offering readers the chance to win free tickets to an early screening of "Hot Spot," a new science-fiction thriller starring Noomi Rapace, ahead of its general cinema release. The event, held in partnership with distributor Focus Features, will take place in New York City and gives fans an opportunity to see the film before it opens nationwide.

The screening is scheduled for Thursday 20 August at 7pm at the AMC Empire 25, with the film opening in cinemas more widely from 21 August. Directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska and written by Robert Bolesto, the duo behind 2015's "The Lure," the dystopian thriller draws inspiration from films such as "Total Recall," "Mad Max" and "Scanners." It follows Rana (Rapace), leader of an off-grid refugee group called the Neosouls, whose clash with a society dependent on a sentient AI system leads a former-refugee-turned-detective, Djonny, into a murder investigation that upends his sense of identity. Readers wishing to attend must submit their email via a provided link to enter, with only confirmed RSVPs guaranteed admission.
