Shine Your Light on The Midnight Special Trailer
Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special, which is having its North American premiere at this year’s SXSW Film Fest, will be opening theatrically on March 18th; and right now we have a trailer for you!
Described as an homage to the John Carpenter films of the 80s, Midnight Special boasts an impressive cast including Michael Shannon, Kirsten Dunst, Joel Edgerton, Sam Shepherd, and Adam Driver.
Synopsis:
In the sci-fi thriller Midnight Special, writer/director Jeff Nichols proves again that he is one of the most compelling storytellers of our time, as a father (Michael Shannon) goes on the run to protect his young son, Alton (Jaeden Lieberher), and uncover the truth behind the boy’s special powers.
What starts as a race from religious extremists and local law enforcement quickly escalates to a nationwide manhunt involving the highest levels of the Federal Government. Ultimately, his father risks everything to protect Alton and help fulfill a destiny that could change the world forever, in this genre-defying film as supernatural as it is intimately human.
