Rust

2024 · 139 min

A somber, slow-burning Western that trades gunfights for quiet moments of regret and fragile connection, weighed down by its own tragic history.

Tagline
Redemption isn't given, it's taken.
Overview
Infamous outlaw Harland Rust breaks his estranged grandson Lucas out of prison, after Lucas is convicted to hang for an accidental murder. The two must outrun legendary U.S Marshal Wood Helm and bounty hunter Fenton "Preacher" Lang who are hot on their tails. Deeply buried secrets rise from the ashes and an unexpected familial bond begins to form as the mismatched duo tries to survive the merciless American Frontier.
