Leave the World Behind Storyline: What Would It Be Able to Be About?
Rose gets separated from the family in Leave The World Behind. So we expect either Rose or the whole family to go on a search for her in Leave The World Behind Part 2.
We will be given more insights into who the real culprits are and who the terrorists are, and they might be on the lookout for the survivors to kill them.
We will also get the backstory of Danny, G.H., and Ruth and get to know the mystery behind Ruth’s mother, whether she is alive or dead. There are a lot of things to cover, and so we expect to get all our answers in Leave The World Part 2.
What Happened at the End of Leave the World Behind Part 1?
It starts with a sudden vacation to Long Island with the tech-obsessed family of Clay and Amanda Sanford. During the break, Amanda notices a stranger who is stalking up on canned foods and water. She doesn’t think much about it, but when they lose cell connectivity for a day, Amanda and Clay realize that it isn’t a typical vacation.
Soon, they see herds of deer, an oil tanker running ashore, leaflets in Arabic flying all over, plane crashes, and a desperate Spanish woman asking for help. They are visited by George H Scott (G.H.) and his daughter Ruth, who ask them to let them stay for a night as they come all the way from the city, which was then facing a blackout. Amanda didn’t want to trust them, but Clay let them in.
In the end, G.H. confides in Amanda that it all might be a government conspiracy. They almost cheat on their spouses but stop at the right moment.
Meanwhile, Ruth gets too close to Clay, and when he refuses, she tells her dad a false story. Rose (Amanda and Clay’s daughter) goes missing while a tick bites Archie, and his teeth start falling out.
Survivalist Danny (the stranger who was stocking food and water) helps them identify the cause: a microwave weapon. Danny helps them get inside a bunker for safety, and Rose finds a bunker, too. They all wait there as the U.S. fights a war with rogue armed forces who possess radiological weapons.

How Is the Part Rated So Far?
As of yet, IMDb ratings stand at 6.6 out of 10. Leave the World Behind has received 75% on the Tomatometer with 35% in the audience score of Rotten Tomatoes. The reviews look mixed. This is primarily because of the concept behind the film, which might be difficult for viewers to grasp.
The lack of background information also plays a vital role in the mixed reviews. Many find the premise intriguing, but the execution is where it lacks.
Some liked the film because of the acting chops of the fantastic and well-known actors, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, and Ethan Hawke, and feel that Leave The World Behind is more of an art film and one needs to ‘think’ about the end as it has an open ending.
Overall, be it negative or positive, all reviews have one thing in common: they all have many unanswered questions, and they demand a Leave The World Behind Part 2.

Movies Like Leave the World Behind Part 2
Let’s Meet The Director, Sam Esmail
If you love Mr Robot, starring Rami Malek, then Sam Esmail must be your favorite director. He hints that Leave The World Behind is part of Mr Robot’s extended universe. (The cyberattacks, blackouts, and sudden cell connectivity shutdown are probably related to Mr Robot.)
In an interview, when Sam Esmail was asked as to what inspired him to make Leave The World Behind, he stated that he came across the novel of the same name written by Rumaan Alam during the pandemic. He was thinking about starting a new project right after Mr Robot.
So Leave The World Behind seemed like the ‘perfect idea’; about the cast, all Sam could say was that they were terrific to work with, and with Julia, he had already worked with in a ‘Castle.’ Only Julia can bring the humanity in a Karen, He stated, talking about her role as Amanda, who is a bit of a Karen in the movie.
