Netflix has announced its upcoming thriller Rebel Ridge will be released in September.

The film stars Aaron Pierre (The Underground Railroad, Genius: MLK/X) as ex-marine Terry Richmond.

Per Netflix, Rebel Ridge is a “deeply human yet high-velocity thriller” about Richmond who confronts corruption in a small town after local law enforcement unjustly steals the bail money for his cousin. He finds an unlikely alliance with court clerk Summer McBride played by AnnaSophia Robb (Carrie Diaries, Soul Surfer ).

In the end, Richmond must use his mysterious background to stop the conspiracy plot from local police chief played by Don Johnson (Miami Vice, Knives Out), who must protect Summer, and bring justice to his own family at all costs.

The film is directed by Jeremy Saulnier, who is best known for the 2015 horror film Green Room and the 2013 revenge thriller Blue Ruin.

In addition to directing and writing, Saulnier produces Rebel Ridge. Anish Savjani, Neil Kopp, and Vincent Savino are also producers of the upcoming project.

While speaking to Netflix, Saulnier revealed what inspired him to take on movies like Rebel Ridge.

“As a filmmaker, I dig grounded ’80s and ’90s action films that not only deliver on spectacle but succeed in tying on-screen mayhem to a real and true emotional component,” Saulnier said. “Smaller scale, bigger impact. Less veneer, less artificiality. They’re rooted in a ‘kick up the dust’ level of craft and authenticity that I don’t see often in the current space, and I was interested in making a film more like that.”

The film also stars David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell.

Rebel Ridge is set to debut Sept. 6, 2024 on Netflix.
