Gone Girl is a 2014 American psychological thriller directed by David Fincher and written by Gillian Flynn, based on her 2012 novel of the same name. It stars Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, and Carrie Coon in her film debut. In the film, Nick Dunne (Affleck) becomes the prime suspect in the sudden disappearance of his wife, Amy (Pike) in Missouri.

Gone Girl premiered as the opening film at the 52nd New York Film Festival on September 26, 2014, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 3, 2014 by 20th Century Fox. The film received highly positive reviews from critics upon release, with Pike's performance garnering widespread critical acclaim. It also emerged as a commercial success at the box-office, grossing $370 million worldwide against a $61 million budget, to become Fincher's highest-grossing film. It is considered a cult postmodern mystery.[4][5]
