RUBBER is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move.

Initially he is content to prey on small desert creatures and discarded objects, but soon focuses on humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving scenes of destruction in his wake, Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with…

Directed by legendary electro musician Quentin Dupieux (STEAK, NONFILM), aka Mr Oizo, RUBBER is a smart, funny and wholly original tribute to the cinematic concept of “no reason.”
