Replace the or with an and. You'll need to make sure both don't satisfy, not if either don't satisfy!

But question says "or"

Yes, the challenge expects something like this:

import sys

ans = input("Do you want to start a movie?")
if ans == 'n' or ans == 'N':
    sys.exit()
else:
    print("Enjoy the show!")

Which does that same thing as your code. Either passes.
