Check out this debut poster and first images from Samaritan, a new film led by Sylvester Stallone that is set to land on Prime Video in August. Javon “Wanna” Walton, Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moises Arias round out the main cast of the new movie.
Stallone released a statement on the movie, which we presume precedes a trailer.
“I love action films that also have heart. I wanted to be involved with Samaritan because this story has many layers that I think people can relate to. It’s something of a morality tale that is also very exciting to watch. We are thrilled that this will be seen globally on Prime Video where my fans and all audiences can enjoy it together around the world.”
The synopsis is as follows.
Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone) is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty 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.
Samaritan is set for release on Prime Video on 26th of August.
