The Muscle News gives a preview of the new film Stand Your Ground, soon to be released in theaters on 9 May 2025.
Epic Pictures is thrilled to announce powerhouse feature full-length film, action-thriller Stand Your Ground for a May 9 theatrical release [Tickets available via AMC Theatres], with a May 27 release on digital and on demand.
Director Fansu Njie brings his love of action and horror films and unique perspective as a celebrated Swedish director to this American story of revenge. The film marks the second time he and star Daniel Stisen (Those About To Die) have collaborated, following their global success with the Netflix hit, Last Man Down. Stand Your Ground stars Stisen, the former world-renowned bodybuilder champion turned actor, alongside Fargo’s Peter Stormare.
Stisen stars as Jack Johnson, a former Special Forces operative who returns home with his pregnant wife (Roxi Kravitz), only to face a tragic attack, spearheaded by local crime lord Bastion (Peter Stormare), leads to her murder. When Jack kills one of the assailants in rage, just outside their home, he is imprisoned for six years. Upon release, he discovers the culprits were sons of Bastion. Seeking vengeance, Jack targets Bastion’s eldest son, Leon (Michael Billington), who masterminded the attack.
Using the Stand Your Ground law, Jack lures Leon into a trap, leaving him comatose. Bastion retaliates, sending assassins, but Jack, fortified in his home, fights them off. Molly (Isobel Laidler), Bastion’s conflicted daughter, and town Sheriff, Dwayne (Patrick Regis), confront her father, who refuses to stop, leading to an explosive final showdown in which Jack confronts both his enemies and his own humanity.
