Still from the 2025 movie, Sinners. Two identical men, dressed in suits, look beyond the camera. The one on the left wears a brown fedora hat with a red tie; on the right, a blue newsboy cap, blue tie, and holds a cigarette. Behind them is the brown-and-blue siding of an old building and front windshield of a red car, and in the horizon a green treeline.

A man in a black suit holds a woman in a black top and skirt, with heels. They stand in the middle of a street and are encircled by three hoops, reminiscent of nuclear diagrams of an atom's path. The sky behind them, at sunset, bursts forth in a similar "nuclear" fashion.
