(UTV | AMERICA) – Amazon Prime has premiered the trailer for the Sylvester Stallone-led superhero feature “Samaritan” which has been helmed by “Overlord” and “Son of a Gun” director Julius Avery.
In the film, thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Stallone), is actually a legend hiding in plain sight.
Twenty-five years ago, Granite City’s super-powered vigilante, Samaritan, was reported dead after a fiery warehouse battle with his rival, Nemesis.
Most believe Samaritan perished in the fire, but some in the city, like Sam, have hope that he is still alive. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to coax his neighbor out of hiding to save the city from ruin.
Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moises Arias co-star in the film which was penned by Bragi F. Schut and will premiere on Amazon on August 26th.
