At the end of Mountainhead (2025), after two failed attempts to kill Jeff by his billionaire friends Randall, Hugo, and Ven, Jeff is trapped in the sauna with gasoline poured around him. He offers to sign over his AI company Bilter to Traam, Ven’s company, in exchange for his release. The next morning, Jeff is freed after signing the contract, confronts his friends at breakfast, and prepares to leave. Randall leaves dejected, Ven and Jeff discuss the future of the deal, and Souper, having become a billionaire through the deal, meditates overlooking the mountains.

The ending unfolds as follows:

The three friends—Randall, Hugo, and Ven—after two bungled attempts to kill Jeff, finally corner him in the sauna of the Mountainhead mansion. They pour gasoline inside, preparing to immolate him. Jeff, desperate, hastily drafts a contract to transfer ownership of his AI company, Bilter, to Ven’s company, Traam, in exchange for his life. The others agree to this deal and release him from the sauna.

The next morning, Jeff emerges from the sauna and joins the others for breakfast. The atmosphere is tense and awkward. Jeff confronts his friends, who remain unapologetic about their actions. They admit they have lost interest in their previous plans to launch coups against governments amid the global turmoil.

Jeff prepares to leave Mountainhead. Before departing, he has a private conversation with Ven. Jeff tells Ven he will try to fight the deal he signed under duress. Ven asks Jeff to do the deal legitimately, and Jeff agrees on the condition that Randall be excluded from the agreement. Jeff expresses skepticism about Traam’s success even with Bilter’s help. Ven, however, professes faith in his company and says that if Jeff joins, he will eventually try to force Ven out, which Ven finds exciting.

Randall, who has been watching this exchange from a distance, rides away from Mountainhead looking dejected and isolated.

The film closes with Souper, who has finally achieved billionaire status through the deal with Jeff, sitting outside overlooking the mountain scenery. He follows a meditation exercise on his app Slowzo, symbolizing his newfound status and perhaps a moment of calm amid the chaos.

Thus, the fates of the main characters at the end are:

• Jeff: Released but bound by a contract he signed under duress; determined to fight the deal and skeptical of its success.
• Ven: Confident in his company Traam and the deal, ready to face future challenges with Jeff.
• Randall: Dejected, leaves Mountainhead alone, excluded from the deal.
• Souper: Achieves billionaire status and appears contemplative, meditating in the mountains.

This ending scene-by-scene narrative highlights the fractured relationships, the uneasy alliances, and the personal ambitions of the characters amid a backdrop of global crisis and moral ambiguity.

Yes, the movie Mountainhead (2025) has a post-credit scene. After the main story concludes with Jeff and Venis making a tense deal and Randall leaving dejected, the film cuts to Souper, who has become a billionaire through the deal with Jeff. Souper is shown overlooking the mountain scenery around his home while following a meditation exercise on the app Slowzo, symbolizing a moment of calm and reflection after the chaotic events.

This scene serves as a quiet epilogue rather than a traditional teaser or cliffhanger, emphasizing the aftermath of the deal and the characters' new statuses. There are no additional mid- or post-credit scenes beyond this final moment.

Yes, characters do face death threats and near-death experiences in Mountainhead (2025), but no character actually dies on screen.

• Jeff is the primary target of multiple assassination attempts by the other three billionaire friends—Randall, Hugo, and Venis. They try to kill him by pushing him over a railing, suffocating him with a pillow, and finally by attempting to immolate him in a sauna using gasoline. However, Jeff survives all these attempts. In the sauna scene, just before they set the fire, Jeff offers to make a deal, which leads to his release after signing a contract under duress.

• Randall is implied to be doomed eventually, with suggestions that he may have his consciousness uploaded or be sent to another planet, but it is stated that he will "eventually die for sure." This is more of a future inevitability rather than an immediate death in the film.

• The other characters—Venis, Hugo, and Souper—do not die during the film. Souper achieves billionaire status by the end, and Venis and Jeff continue their tense relationship.

In summary, while there are intense and violent attempts on Jeff's life, no character actually dies during the events of the movie. The deaths are mostly avoided or deferred, with the film ending on a note of ongoing conflict and power struggles among the characters.
