The Hunt is a 2020 American thriller directed by Craig Zobel, with a screenplay by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof. The film satirizes the intense political divide, violence, and tension between the right-wing and left-wing factions in the United States. The story follows a group of elites who hunt down ordinary people for sport, with a critical commentary on modern politics.

Initially announced in March 2018, the cast was finalized by the following year, with filming taking place in New Orleans. The film was originally scheduled for release on September 27, 2019. However, following the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso in early August 2019, Universal Pictures decided to postpone the release. The film faced backlash from President Donald Trump and conservative media for its perceived bias.

The Hunt was eventually released in theaters in the U.S. on March 13, 2020, but the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to most theaters closing within a week of its release, resulting in a disappointing box office performance with only $16 million in earnings. The film was later made available for streaming on March 20, 2020.
