The Harder They Fall

In THE HARDER THEY FALL, a young Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) witnesses his parents being murdered by Rufus Buck (Idris Elba). In addition to the psychological scars of that trauma, Love is inflicted with a physical scar: a knife wound on his forehead in the shape of a cross. Years later, Love learns that Buck has been released from prison. Love's friends -- including Mary Fields (Zazie Beetz), Jim Beckworth (RJ Cyler), and Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) -- join Love on his quest to avenge his parents' deaths. Luckily, Love's crew is made up of skilled, street-smart gunslingers and crooks who are willing to put their lives on the line to defeat Buck and his gang. A series of epic, wildly choreographed shoot-outs ensue, with people on both sides wounded or left for dead until Love and Buck must face each other to determine the ultimate victor. In the meantime, there's romantic tension on both sides. Love and Fields have to contend with their unresolved history, while Buck and Trudy Smith (Regina King) dance around the notion that their loyalty to each other is due to more than just friendship.
