Glass

David Dunn, a former security guard turned public symbol of hope, pursues Kevin Wendell Crumb, a man whose 24 identities confuse and threaten those around him. As their paths cross in a city where fragile beliefs collide, a quiet architect of the plan named Elijah Price quietly operates in the shadows, claiming to foresee a larger pattern behind the violence. A psychologist named Dr. Ellie Staple studies their minds, trying to persuade them that superhuman powers are a fantasy. Casey Cooke, a survivor who has faced both men, becomes entangled as events tighten toward a confrontation that tests their loyalties and limits. Several factions watch the fallout. The film threads their fates together through loyalties and secrets for attentive audiences.

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, Glass is built from his own screenplay that knots together the worlds of Unbreakable and Split. The film continues the stories of David Dunn, Kevin Wendell Crumb, and Elijah Price in a single, tense lineup.

Glass grossed $246,999,039 worldwide on a $20,000,000 budget, delivering a solid return for Shyamalan's trilogy finale. It performed well across international markets and kept the Unbreakable and Split universe lively for fans, and attracted new fans while satisfying viewers worldwide.

Glass stands out for bringing together Shyamalan's quiet superhero universe, blending thriller and philosophical ideas about power and identity. Its crossover of characters from Unbreakable and Split became a talking point, influencing fan discussions and occasional nods in popular culture. It helped renew interest in grounded superheroes for modern cinema.

Critics offered mixed reactions, praising the performances and the audacious setup while noting a crowded narrative that tethers too many ideas. The film returns to questions about identity, belief, and the cost of living with extraordinary abilities in a skeptical world. Audiences were divided on pacing but recognized ambition today.
