HOTEL TEHRAN
Ensemble Thriller (Knives Out, White Lotus)
SYNOPSIS
At a gilded hotel perched between a crumbling empire and incoming fire, power brokers, models, diplomats, and spies gather for one final illusion of elegance. The occasion: Frank Sinatra’s final performance in Iran, at Hotel Tehran, New Year’s Eve, 1979. The hidden purpose: an intelligence handoff, with whispered talk of a mysterious courier known only as _the Dove_. When a glamorous guest with rumored revolutionary ties is found dead mid-gala, what appears to be a tragic overdose fractures into something far more dangerous. Told through shifting timelines and layered perspectives, _Hotel Tehran_ slowly unravels a conspiracy buried beneath silk, surveillance, and state secrets -- until, as revolution breaches the gates, one quiet woman emerges at the center of it all.
