One of the best action movies of the 21st century is on TV tonight

The film swept the Oscars and holds a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The film tells the story of Evelyn Quan Wang (Michelle Yeoh, who won an Oscar for her turn), a middle-aged Chinese American woman facing several difficulties.

Her marriage to her husband, Weymond (Ke Huy Quan, another Oscar-winning performance), is on the rocks, while she is also struggling with the pressures of running a laundromat.

Amidst all these everyday problems, she is visited by another version of her husband, dubbed Alpha-Waymond, from a parallel universe.

Sweeping her up in an insane multiverse-hopping adventure, Alpha-Waymond explains to Evelyn that she alone is the key to saving all existence from an all-powerful but familiar threat.

Co-starring James Hong, Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis in an Oscar-winning supporting turn, Everything Everywhere All at Once was written and directed by the filmmaking duo The Daniels (Swiss Army Man).

An ambitious and rich blend of emotional human drama, eye-popping action set-pieces, screwball comedy and expansive sci-fi storytelling that lives up to its title, Everything Everywhere All at Once holds an impressive 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie also swept the Academy Awards, winning along with its acting trophies in the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing categories.

On top of this, the film was a big box office hit, grossing nearly $145 million on a reported budget of $14–25 million.

And since its release, it has continued to garner acclaim, with IndieWire placing it ninth in a list of the best 50 action movies of the 21st century.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 9pm. It should also be available to stream on Channel 4's website after it airs.
