Netflix has shared a first look at Rebel Ridge, which was written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier. Saulnier’s film credits include Hold the Dark, Green Room, Blue Ruin, and Murder Party.
The cast includes Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell.
In the film, Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre) enters the town of Shelby Springs on a simple but urgent mission—post bail for his cousin and save him from imminent danger.
But when law enforcement unjustly seizes Terry’s life’s savings, he’s forced to confront local police chief Sandy Burnne (Don Johnson) and his combat-ready officers.
Terry finds an unlikely ally in court clerk Summer McBride (AnnaSophia Robb), and the two become ensnared in a deep-rooted conspiracy within the remote township.
As the stakes turn deadly, Terry must call upon his mysterious background to break the department’s hold on the community, bring justice to his own family– and protect Summer in the process.
Rebel Ridge is a deeply human yet high-velocity thriller that explores corruption and morality in the context of bone-breaking action and ever-coiling suspense.
Produced by Anish Savjani, Neil Kopp, Vincent Savino, and Jeremy Saulnier, Rebel Ridge also stars David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell. The executive producers include Daniel Jason Heffner, Macon Blair, and Louise Lovegrove.
