The Leader

Based on the true story of Heaven's Gate, a UFO cult that made headlines in 1997 when 39 followers committed the largest mass suicide in U.S. history. The film traces the cult's origins from the early 1970s meeting of its leaders, Ti & Do in Houston, Texas, through its tragic conclusion in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

Starring Academy Award nominees Tim Blake Nelson and Vera Farmiga, alongside Golden Globe winner Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory).
