In a world overflowing with action-packed blockbusters, Armor, the upcoming thriller from Lionsgate, promises an intense ride. Led by action legends Sylvester Stallone and Jason Patric, Armor brings a gritty tale of survival to the screen—one where every second counts.
Directed by Justin Routt, this film follows father and son, James (played by Stallone) and Casey (Jason Patric), who work as armored truck drivers. What begins as a routine job transporting a mysterious package quickly devolves into a nightmare when they find themselves ambushed on a bridge by a group of dangerous criminals. Trapped and outnumbered, the duo must think fast, devising a plan to escape while protecting the cargo—and each other.
The plot thickens when they discover the real value of what they're transporting, making their already dangerous situation even more perilous. Alongside intense shootouts and daring escapes, Armor offers a deeper exploration of family bonds, making the stakes personal for the protagonists.
With a supporting cast that includes Dash Mihok, Josh Wiggins, Blake Shields, and Erin Ownbey, Armor aims to deliver pulse-pounding action with a story that dives into the lengths a man will go to protect his family. While the concept may feel familiar—”how will they get out of this one?”—the tension, paired with Stallone's signature presence, ensures there's enough here to keep action enthusiasts engaged.
Armor is set to hit select theaters and VOD on November 22, 2024. But the real question is: Can this film break through the saturated action genre and leave a lasting impact, or will it fade into the crowd? Stallone fans will surely want to find out.
