Disconnect is a 2012 American drama film directed by Henry Alex Rubin. It explores how people experience the negative sides of modern communication technology by following three interconnecting stories. An ambitious, up-and-coming reporter Nina Dunham has much success with her interview with underage video chat-room stripper; two boys impersonate a girl on Facebook Messenger and convince teenager Ben to send a nude picture of himself and Cindy and Derek, a married couple who recently lost their child, struggle after their identities are stolen online. The film stars an ensemble cast, which includes Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, Frank Grillo, Andrea Riseborough, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Alexander Skarsgård, Max Thieriot and fashion designer Marc Jacobs in his debut acting role.
