Dwayne Johnson has joined the cast of the A24 psychological thriller ‘Breakthrough.’
Set in turn-of-the-millennium Southern California, the story follows an alienated young man who comes under the influence of a motivational guru, whose intoxicating charm masks his morally questionable methods of manipulation and his own concealed darkness.
Johnson is said to be playing the role of the guru.
