Director Peter Berg (LONE SURVIVOR, THE KINGDOM) certainly hasn't been slacking as of late, with his oil rig disaster movie DEEPWATER HORIZON hitting in September of this year, and his next effort opening a mere 4 months later. PATRIOTS DAY is an account of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing featuring Mark Wahlberg, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, J.K, Simmons and Michelle Monaghan, among others. You can check out the first poster and official synopsis for the film below!
In the aftermath of an unspeakable act of terror, Police Sergeant Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg) joins courageous survivors, first responders and investigators in a race against the clock to hunt down the bombers before they strike again. Weaving together the stories of Special Agent Richard Deslauriers (Kevin Bacon), Police Commissioner Ed Davis (John Goodman), Sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese (J.K. Simmons) and nurse Carol Saunders (Michelle Monaghan) this visceral and unflinching chronicle captures the suspense of the most sophisticated manhunt in law enforcement history and the strength of the people of Boston.
PATRIOTS DAY will open in New York, Los Angeles and Boston on December 21, 2016 and nationwide on January 13, 2017.
