Among Us is a 2019 American science fiction drama film produced by Lawrence Kasanoff and directed by James Cameron, whilst the screenplay was written by Lawrence Kasdan and David Koepp. Based on the 2018 online multiplayer social deduction game of the same name by InnerSloth, the film stars Nicolas Cage, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ed Harris as its principal cast. The film takes place in a space-themed setting in which cast members each take on one of two roles, most being Crewmates, and a predetermined number being Impostors.
The film was produced by Cameron's production company Lightstorm Entertainment and Inter-Starlow Filmworks, and was distributed by TriStar Pictures.
Among Us was widely anticipated, and TriStar backed the film with extensive marketing campaigns. It premiered in Manhattan on March 13, 2019 and Los Angeles on March 15, 2019 before its wide release in the United States on March 17, 2019.
In response to the original game's influx of popularity in 2020 due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it, the film saw a video streaming release on August 25, 2020.
