“Terry Richmond (Pierre) enters the town of Shelby Springs on a simple but urgent mission– post bail for his cousin and save him from imminent danger,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “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 and his combat-ready officers. Terry finds an unlikely ally in court clerk Summer McBride 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.”
Described as a “deeply human yet high-velocity thriller,” the film is written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier (Hold the Dark). Prior to Pierre’s casting, Star Wars alum John Boyega was originally slated to lead the project. However, due to “family reasons,” Boyega had to exit the movie in the middle of shooting.
Rebel Ridge will be available for streaming on Friday, September 6, 2024, exclusively on Netflix.
