Take Elizabeth Holmes — one of the world's most famous fraudsters, currently serving 11 years in prison after being convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy for her part in the deceptive creation of the supposed medical testing marvel Edison from Theranos — and Nathan Fielder — a deceptive comedian known for manipulating and tricking small business owners and many more with his meta documentary style TV shows like "Nathan for You" and HBO's original series "The Rehearsal," each packed with awkward, uncomfortable humor that brings about insightful social commentary — and you have a brilliant match of manipulators that makes for one of the most riveting movies of 2026.
