“Leave the World Behind” (“Leave the world behind” in Spanish) is one of the latest Netflix releases arriving in 2023. The long-awaited film, starring actors such as Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali, combines psychological thriller with post-apocalyptic elements . If you have already seen it and have some doubts regarding the ending, at MAG we will solve them for you.
The feature film is directed and written by Sam Esmail, recognized for his work in the series “Mr. Robot”. However, the story is inspired by Rumaan Alam’s work of the same name.
The plot takes place on a vacation weekend for Amanda, Clay and their children in a rented house. The peace is interrupted when GH and his daughter Ruth appear, two strangers seeking refuge following a mysterious cyber attack. Little by little, they will have to discover what is really happening.
“Leave the World Behind” premiered on December 8, 2023 on Netflix and you can watch the trailer before continuing.
WHAT DOES THE END OF “LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND” MEAN?
Did Archie manage to save himself from the disease?
Archie surprised everyone when he woke up and his teeth started to fall out. Quickly, his condition worsened: he began vomiting and a rash broke out on his skin. There was no possibility of returning to the city to a hospital, as the road was clogged with autopilot Tesla cars.
George had the idea to go visit Danny, since the paranoid neighbor probably had antibiotics or some medicine that might help the teenager. After a tense exchange, Clay managed to convince Kevin Bacon’s character to help them and gave him a bottle of medicine in exchange for a thousand dollars.
Although they don’t show exactly what’s happening with Archie, you can see that the rash on his face has started to disappear, which may indicate that the medication has worked and he’ll be fine.

Did they manage to find Rose?
The film leaves many gaps for the viewer to fill in, but most likely the Sandfords and Scotts managed to find Rose in the neighbors’ bunker, since George and Clay were going to return home with the plan anyway. move there to be safer.
What happened to the Scotts and the Sandfords?
We can’t really say what happened to the Scotts and Sandfords following the attack on the United States, but we can form some theories from the last events we saw in the movie.
After the conversation with Danny, George realized that what was happening with the blackout and the cyberattack were not isolated events, but part of a three-part plan to destabilize a nation.
The third stage of the attack was a coup d’etat or civil war, which would generate the total collapse of society in the United States. The citizens themselves will become violent to survive and will not know who to trust, just as happened in the encounter with Danny. For this reason, GH considers that the bunker was the best option for shelter, since they might be safe and with provisions, without risks of bombings or violent strangers. However, for this reason he had to make sure that he might trust Clay and his family, since they were going to live together this period.
Considering Clay’s peaceful nature, there was no problem. The biggest doubt might lie with Amanda, but her final scene with Ruth, where they both watch New York City being bombed holding hands, tells us that they have formed a bond and are willing to help each other.

Therefore, we can assume that the Sandfords and the Scotts find the bunker in the neighbors’ house and take refuge there. At least for a long time, they will be safe and have supplies to survive. As long as no problem arises.
Who launched the attack once morest the United States?
The people, organizations or governments behind the attack on the United States are never revealed, but it is assumed that they have been enemies that the country has generated in many of its past incursions and interventions.
Most likely, it is not some Iranian, Korean or Chinese group, as was read in the pamphlets, since that was one of the strategies to misinform the population that George explains.
On the computer in the neighbors’ bunker, you can read “The White House and major cities are under attack by rebel armed forces. “High levels of radiation have been detected near multiple population centers.”
