Check out the new trailer for the upcoming Lionsgate film, American Heist, featuring rapper/actor, Akon and Bessie actor Tory Kittles. The movie also stars Hayden Christensen, Laura Cayouette, Adrien Brody, Jordana Brewster and Aaron V. Williamson.
Here is the film’s synopsis according to Indie Wire:
A New Orleans mechanic’s struggle to turn his back on crime is compromised by the unexpected return of his ex-con brother, who quickly gets him involved in a dangerous heist. James and Frankie were just teenagers when Frankie was convicted for shooting a cop, and sent to prison. Ten years later, James (Hayden Christensen) has finally put his life back in order. He’s seeking the financing to open his own garage when he starts to rekindle a romance with his ex-flame Emily (Jordana Brewster). Their future together is looking bright until Frankie (Adrien Brody) reappears without warning, entangling his brother in a dangerous bank robbery plot hatched by Ray (Tory Kittles) and Sugar (Akon), two enterprising criminals who make it clear that Frankie and Emily will suffer if James doesn’t go along with their plans.
American Heist arrives in theaters July 24!
