Much like the earlier movie, Weapons takes has a simple yet mysterious premise, where an entire class of third-graders goes missing after they leave their homes at 2:17 AM. In Barbarian, Cregger went on to work around the traditional linear narrative, where he highlighted twists midway through the movie and later backed it up with more context.
