The terrifying true story of the 2008 siege on Mumbai's Taj Hotel has gotten the movie treatment, but fortunately, the film has the perfect cast to bring such a gripping tale to the big screen.

Hotel Mumbai stars Lion's Dev Patel as Arjun, a waiter working in Mumbai's prestigious Taj Hotel, who finds himself banding together with staff members like renowned chef Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher), as well as guests, when a group of terrorists descends on the city, setting off bombs and shooting machine guns in the streets. When a pair of the armed gunmen arrive in the hotel, Arjun and Hemant cross paths with a couple (Call Me By Your Name's Armie Hammer and Homeland's Nazanin Boniadi) desperate to keep their infant son alive, and all of them realize they'll have to make unthinkable sacrifices to keep their loved ones safe.

Watch the trailer for the Anthony Maras-directed film above, and keep an eye out when it arrives in theaters on March 22.
