UNITED STATES: Primetime is a 2026 American psychological crime thriller film directed by Lance Oppenheim in his narrative feature film debut. Based on the 2007 Esquire article "Tonight on Dateline This Man Will Die", which itself recounted the suicide of Bill Conradt and its aftermath, it loosely follows the production of the reality television series To Catch a Predator.
Robert Pattinson stars as a fictionalized version of series host Chris Hansen, and also serves as a producer. Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, and Phoebe Bridgers play supporting roles.
