The family of Harlan Thrombey, a wealthy mystery novelist, attends his 85th birthday party at his Massachusetts mansion. The next morning, Harlan’s housekeeper, Fran, finds him dead with his throat slit. The police believe Harlan’s death to be suicide, but an anonymous party pays private detective Benoit Blanc to investigate the case.Knives Out full Movie Download.
Blanc learns that Harlan’s relationships with his various family members were strained: on the day of his death, Harlan had threatened to expose his son-in-law Richard for cheating on his wife, Harlan’s daughter Linda; cut off his daughter-in-law Joni’s allowance for stealing from him; fired his son Walt from his publishing company; and had an altercation with his grandson Ransom.
Unbeknownst to Blanc, after the party, Harlan’s nurse, Marta Cabrera, mixed up his medications and apparently administered an overdose of morphine; she could not find the antidote, leaving Harlan minutes to live. Knowing that Marta’s mother is an undocumented immigrant, Harlan prevented Marta from calling for help and instead gave her instructions to create a false alibi to save her family from scrutiny, before slitting his own throat. Harlan’s very elderly mother saw Marta carrying out his instructions, but mistook her for Ransom.
Marta cannot lie without vomiting, so she gives true but incomplete answers when Blanc questions her. She agrees to assist in Blanc’s investigation and conceals evidence of her actions as they search the property. When Harlan’s will is read, to everyone’s astonishment, Marta is the sole beneficiary. Ransom helps her escape the family’s wrath, but manipulates her into confessing to him. He offers his help in exchange for a share of the inheritance. The other Thrombeys try to persuade Marta to renounce the inheritance; Walt threatens to expose her mother’s precarious immigration status.
Marta receives an anonymous blackmail note with a partial photocopy of Harlan’s toxicology report. She and Ransom drive to the medical examiner’s office, but the building has been burned down. Marta receives an anonymous email proposing a rendezvous with the blackmailer.
