A Cure for Wellness is a 2016 psychological horror film directed by Gore Verbinski and written by Justin Haythe. The film stars Dane DeHaan, Jason Isaacs and Mia Goth, and follows a young American executive who is sent to a mysterious rehabilitation center in the Swiss Alps. The film was released on February 17, 2017, by 20th Century Fox. The film received mixed reviews and was a box office bomb, grossing $26 million against its $40 million production budget.

At a large financial services firm in New York City, a man named Morris is working late when he suffers a fatal heart attack. Lockhart, an ambitious young executive, takes his place and is sent by the company board members to retrieve the company's CEO, Roland Pembroke, from an idyllic, but mysterious, "wellness center" at a remote location in the Swiss Alps. This retrieval is prompted by a troubling letter from a seemingly much changed Pembroke, whom they need to sign off on an imminent company merger. There is also an ongoing investigation into criminal business deals, which several partners hope to pin on Pembroke upon his return. Arriving at the spa, Lockhart is met with some resistance by the staff, particularly Dr. Heinreich Volmer, in his attempts to speak with Pembroke. He eventually succeeds in getting through to him, but not before a car crash forces him to recover at the center with a broken leg.
