Director: Boots Riley
Starring: John Boyega, Danielle Brooks, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz
Synopsis:
Fresh off a soul-deadening shift at his dead-end county job,
DeAndre "Dre" Weston (
@Dont@Me ), a smooth-talking but chronically unemployed dreamer living outside a Wendy's drive-thru, makes a routine call to the county records office to dispute a property tax lien. What he receives instead is
attitude incarnateāa blistering verbal takedown from a no-nonsense Black woman on the other end of the line who hangs up mid-sentence. Twice.
But instead of letting it go, Dre is struck by a bizarre mix of rage, lust, and curiosity. Her voice was commanding. Her power undeniable. Her aggression? Kinda hot.
Obsessed and without even a face to match the voice, Dre begins a manic, often-hilarious mission to identify and seduce the woman behind the phone:
Monique, a disillusioned and overworked clerk with her own demons, played by Danielle Brooks. As Dre infiltrates the county building under false pretensesāposing as a temp, a tax agent, even a motivational speakerāhe finds himself deeper in a world he never understood: one where Black women carry the emotional labor of the community, while being disrespected from every angle.
What begins as a twisted sexual fantasy becomes a journey of ego, exposure, and humility. Dre is forced to confront the real roots of his ādesireā and unpack whether he ever saw Monique as a personāor just another challenge to conquer in his own myth of masculinity.
But Moniqueās not the one to play with. And as Dre gets closer to her, he realizes sheās the one holding the mirror to his soul.
Tagline: āSometimes, customer service gives you more than you bargained for.ā

Rage Dial is a sharp, unflinching satire that dares to ask: what if the person you projected all your fantasies onto actually made you face who you really are?
