Scheduled for a direct-to-video release on August 16th, 2024, this action-packed thriller stars the iconic Morgan Freeman and Luke Hemsworth in a gripping story of a father’s unwavering quest to rescue his sons.
Helmed by Dimitri Logothetis, recognized for his work on Kickboxer: Retaliation and Jiu Jitsu, Gunner guarantees a nail-biting experience.

The storyline revolves around war hero Colonel Lee Gunner (enacted by Luke Hemsworth), who embarks on a camping trip with his sons, Luke and Travis, to reconnect after years of military service. What begins as a serene outing transforms into a nightmare when they stumble upon a dangerous biker gang’s drug enterprise accidentally.
