Rialtoview | Rich Flu

1h 46m • Science Fiction, Thriller • 2024

When a deadly disease targets the wealthy, fortune becomes fatal and survival means escaping the very privilege that once protected them.

As a strange disease begins killing anyone with wealth, money transforms from the world’s greatest security into its most dangerous liability. With fortune now a death sentence, the privileged are forced into panic, denial and desperate reinvention, testing how far people will go to save themselves when status, comfort and power suddenly become toxic.

Rialto Recommends RICH FLU is a sharp, high-concept thriller with a deliciously nasty premise: what if money could kill you? Blending social satire with apocalyptic urgency, it turns inequality, fear and self-preservation into gripping entertainment. Dark, timely and provocative, this is a survival story where privilege offers no immunity.
