Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming action thriller, Rebel Ridge.
The story follows Terry Richmond, played by Aaron Pierre, a former Marine who is harassed by the local police force. Due to unfair civil asset forfeiture laws, the police confiscated all his savings, which were meant to bail out his cousin.
“You can fight for the money,” Summer McBride, a court clerk, informs him, “But that’ll take most of a year and cost you twice what you’re owed.” With no other options, Richmond and McBride team up to take down the corrupt police chief and his entire department, but the cops won’t let the money go without a fight. What ensues is a battle between justice and those who abuse the power entrusted to them.
The cast of Rebel Ridge also includes Don Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb and James Cromwell. Johnson plays the role of Sandy Brunne, the chief of the police department. Robb is Summer McBride, an ally of Richmond working to uncover the truth about the police department.
The movie is directed, written and produced by Jeremy Saulnier, best known for his work on Green Room, which starred the late Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots. More recently, Saulnier directed Hold the Dark for Netflix, which starred Jeffrey Wright and Alexander Skarsgård.
Rebel Ridge will hit Netflix on September 6. Check out the trailer below.
