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 Terry’s life’s savings is unjustly seized by law-enforcement, he’s forced to go head to head with 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, the next film by Jeremy Saulnier (GREEN ROOM), comes to Netflix September 6th.
In WAMG’s review, writer Michael Haffner wrote, “GREEN ROOM is a lean and mean machine that hits hard.”
Saulnier told Netflix on his latest movie, “As a filmmaker, I dig grounded ’80s and ’90s action films that not only deliver on spectacle, but succeed in tying on-screen mayhem to a real and true emotional component. Smaller scale, bigger impact. Less veneer, less artificiality. They’re rooted in a ‘kick up the dust’ level of craft and authenticity that I don’t see often in the current space, and I was interested in making a film more like that.”
From the acclaimed writer/director of Blue Ruin and Hold The Dark, 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.
