Paramount Movies has released the official trailer for the new action-thriller The Contractor. Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), the film follows an elite soldier on the run from hired killers after his first mission goes awry. You can check out the trailer for the film below.
The official synopsis for The Contractor reads: “Chris Pine stars in the action-packed thriller as Special Forces Sergeant James Harper, who is involuntarily discharged from the Army and cut-off from his pension. In debt, out of options and desperate to provide for his family, Harper contracts with a private underground military force. When the very first assignment goes awry, the elite soldier finds himself hunted and on the run, caught in a dangerous conspiracy and fighting to stay alive long enough to get home and uncover the true motives of those who betrayed him.”
Tarik Saleh directs The Contractor with a screenplay by J. P. Davis. It stars Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Gillian Jacobs, Eddie Marsan, JD Pardo, Florian Munteanu, and Kiefer Sutherland. The film is produced by Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee under their Thunder Road Films banner with Esther Hornstein serving as co-producer.
