‘Hell or High Water’ Unveils a Trailer and Poster

CBS Films has just released the official trailer and poster for the dramatic thriller Hell or High Water starring Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges, Gil Birmingham, and Ben Foster. Set in West Texas, the action drama comes from Young Adam‘s David MacKenzie and was written by Sicario‘s Taylor Sheridan. Gigi Pritzker, Bill Lischak, Michael Nathanson, Rachel Shane, John Penotti and Bruce Toll executive produced, with Sidney Kimmel, Peter Berg, Carla Hacken and Julie Yorn produced. Hell or High Water opens in limited release on August 12, 2016 followed by a wide release on August 19th.


The Plot: A story about the collision of the Old and New West, two brothers — Toby (Chris Pine), a straight-living, divorced father trying to make a better life for his son; and Tanner (Ben Foster), a short-tempered ex-con with a loose trigger finger — come together to rob branch after branch of the bank that is foreclosing on their family land. The hold-ups are part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that powerful forces beyond their control have stolen from under their feet. Vengeance seems to be theirs until they find themselves in the crosshairs of a relentless, foul-mouthed Texas Ranger (Jeff Bridges) looking for one last triumph on the eve of his retirement. As the brothers plot a final bank heist to complete their plan, a showdown looms at the crossroads where the last honest law man and a pair of brothers with nothing to live for except family collide.
