The bar for Julia Robert's 'After the Hunt' is pretty high, thanks to her electrifying performance in Netflix's 'Leave the World Behind,' released in 2023. That apocalyptic thriller, directed by Sam Esmail, had us biting our nails with its intense cyberattack scenario, and Roberts nailed her role alongside Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la Herrold, and Kevin Bacon.
