'Spiderhead' on Netflix: Here's why Miles Teller started acting
'Spiderhead' is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Based on a short story by George Saunders titled 'Escape from Spiderhead,' the film marks Chris Hemsworth's return to Netflix after the chart-busting 'Extraction.'
With the film set to drop on Netflix soon, here's the official synopsis: "In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits. In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. Until they’re not. At times, they’re a better version. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption takes a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether."
Teller, who has a pivotal role in the feature, has appeared in a number of acclaimed movies and cemented his name as one of the best actors of his geneartion. However, the 'Whiplash' star, 35, started acting for a reason that's rather simple. Read on to know about it and other details on Miles Teller!
