Netflix’s Brick ending explained: What is the wall and why is it there?

Brick ending spoilers follow.

Netflix offers a new, intriguing thriller titled “Brick” that isn’t a remake of Rian Johnson’s initial film.

In this intriguing German mystery, the narrative revolves around the duo, Tim and Olivia, who awaken to discover their apartment has been surrounded by an enigmatic brick barrier, from which they are unable to escape. The question lingers: what is the origin of this wall, and why was it constructed? Let’s delve deeper into the secrets that lie within.

What to Read Next

What is the wall in Brick and why is it there?

Let’s get straight to the point. The barrier is a nanotechnology defense structure developed by a tech firm, serving as protection against any type of assault, be it nuclear, biological, or chemical. This information comes from Yuri, who has a friend named Anton residing in the building and working for the company.

Despite having different views on the cause, Yuri and Anton both found themselves at odds as to why a wall had enclosed the building. While Anton attributed it to a technical glitch triggered by a nearby fire at the firm, Yuri believed it was in response to an authentic crisis situation.

Anton was trying to find a method to breach the wall, and it turned out that he had successfully done so, as shown in the security footage reviewed by Tim. Regrettably for Anton, Yuri intercepted him before proceeding and ended his life in self-defense, believing there was danger lurking beyond.

Prior to his passing, Anton developed an innovative app that unlocked a wall using a sequence of lights as its unique code. Unfortunately, Yuri demolished the device, but given Tim’s programming expertise, he was successful in reinstalling the app onto his own smartphone.

If you input an incorrect code, instead of opening the wall as expected, it transforms into a portal that swiftly draws you inside before hardening once more, potentially trapping and severing any limbs. This is precisely what befell the building’s landlord.

So, does anybody survive?

Brick ending explained

Following everyone else stuck inside the building meeting unfortunate ends in different manners, it’s just Tim and Olivia who are still alive – or so they believe, as Yuri wasn’t as severely wounded as they assumed.

Tim and Olivia decipher the correct password from the surveillance videos based on the number of times a flash occurred as Anton entered. However, before they could test it out, Yuri assaults them and forces them to flee towards the basement.

In this scenario, while Olivia enters the air raid shelter using the given code, Tim struggles to fend off Yuri. Simultaneously, he advises Olivia to escape. However, Olivia doesn’t flee; instead, she returns and slays Yuri with a sledgehammer, thus protecting Tim.

They make their way along the subway tunnel linked to an air raid shelter, then emerge into the urban landscape, finding that every structure in sight has identical walls.

The news broadcast verifies that Anton’s assumption was correct – what initially appeared as an issue at the tech firm was actually a fire which set off a significant failure, ultimately activating a covert defense mechanism.

It remains uncertain whether it was intentional damage or an accident, but Tim and Olivia don’t linger to discover the outcome or aid anyone else stranded. Instead, they hop into their campervan and depart, and one can hardly fault them given their recent experiences.

Brick is available to watch now on Netflix.
