Would you buy a ticket to a movie if the main character spent the entire film in a car talking on a phone? A24’s betting on audiences buying into the concept and that moviegoers will be willing to check out Locke when it’s released on April 25, 2014. The cast of the thriller is led by Tom Hardy and includes Ruth Wilson, Olivia Colman, Andrew Scott, Tom Holland, and Bill Milner.
The Plot:
Ivan Locke (Hardy) has worked diligently to craft the life he has envisioned, dedicating himself to the job that he loves and the family he adores. On the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Ivan receives a phone call that sets in motion a series of events that will unravel his family, job, and soul. All taking place over the course of one absolutely riveting car ride, Locke is an exploration of how one decision can lead to the complete collapse of a life.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things) and driven by an unforgettable performance by Tom Hardy, Locke is a thrillingly unique cinematic experience of a man fighting to salvage all that is important to him.
