Legendary actor Sylvester Stallone stars in the vigilante action-thriller Samaritan, out this August from MGM and Prime Video.
In the film, 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.
Directed by Julius Avery and written by Bragi F. Schut, Samaritan also stars Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moises Arias. Producers include Sylvester Stallone, Braden Aftergood with Bragi F. Schut, David Kern, Adam Rosenberg, and Guy Riedel executive producing. Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures Presents a Balboa Production and a Julius Avery Film.
