Collider is thrilled to exclusively reveal the teaser trailer and key art for the upcoming action-packed thriller Gunner, which is set to be available on digital and in select theaters on August 16 and stars Academy Award Winner Morgan Freeman and Luke Hemsworth, known for his roles in Next Goal Wins and HBO’s Westworld. Gunner follows the story of war veteran Colonel Lee Gunner, who embarks on a camping trip with his two sons and their uncle Jon, hoping to reconnect after spending years on the battlefield. The peaceful retreat quickly turns perilous when Jon accidentally triggers a tripwire, setting off an explosion that alerts a violent biker gang involved in a large-scale drug operation.
Unbeknownst to the gang, Gunner’s elite combat skills pose a formidable threat. As the bikers are taken down one by one, the situation escalates when the boys, in search of help, fall into the hands of Dobbs, the son of Kendric Ryker, the imprisoned kingpin behind the drug ring. With his family in grave danger, Colonel Gunner launches a relentless assault to rescue his sons, leading to a climactic confrontation with Ryker. In the world of Gunner, crossing Colonel Gunner is a fatal mistake.
