The prepositions are the words which show the relationship between the pronoun and the nouns. On the other hand, the prepositional phrase starts with the prepositions and end with the object of a preposition, having one or more modifiers to describe.

Therefore, the prepositional phrase in the sentence is 'of that movie'.

The above prepositional phrase acts as a modifier to the unexpected thing.
