The world premiere of Ron Howard’s “Eden,” starring Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Jude Law and Daniel Brühl, was briefly halted at the Toronto Film Festival due to a “medical emergency” involving a guest being carried out of Roy Thomson Hall on a stretcher.

The screening began at 5:45 p.m. and was interrupted around 7:00 p.m. as the lights came up and the crew dealt with the incident. This incident occurred in the orchestra, while the cast and director Howard all remained seated in the mezzanine.
The condition of the moviegoer is unknown, but the screening resumed around 7:20 p.m.
"Eden" follows a pair of high-minded Europeans, played by Law and Kirby, who "seek a new life on a previously uninhabited island in the Galapagos, only to discover that hell is a different people," according to the logline. As they encounter other islanders, "nothing will test their mettle more than the challenge of living with desperate neighbors capable of theft, deceit and worse."
