Russell Crowe Takes on Cartels and Crime in Thriller 'The Get Out'

Russell Crowe is diving back into high-stakes action with the newly unveiled trailer for upcoming thriller The Get Out.

The 62-year-old Oscar-winning actor teams up again with director Derrick Borte, continuing their partnership following their 2020 collaboration on Unhinged. This time, Crowe portrays a nightclub proprietor attempting to escape his criminal past and transition into a peaceful retirement alongside his girlfriend, played by Teresa Palmer. That plan falls apart when armed masked intruders storm in, and he becomes trapped in a dangerous web of cartel violence.

The film follows Crowe's character as he faces mounting pressure from multiple directions. After being robbed by masked gunmen portrayed by Nina Dobrev and Aaron Paul, he finds himself squeezed by powerful cartels. Complicating matters further, a mysterious figure played by Luke Evans surfaces with intentions to purchase the nightclub, introducing another layer of intrigue and peril. As threats close in from all angles, the protagonist must navigate treacherous terrain where deception and survival intertwine, with escape becoming increasingly uncertain.

Borte directed the project while co-writing the screenplay with Daniel Forte. The story draws from Thomas Perry's novel Strip.

Vertical Entertainment will release The Get Out in select theaters on June 26, 2026, with digital and VOD platforms following on June 30, 2026.

The trailer arrives shortly after Crowe made headlines when a video of him interacting with autograph seekers circulated online. In the footage, he could be heard instructing them to remain in place and refrain from pushing toward him, promising to approach them instead. The actor subsequently addressed the incident and resulting online reactions through social media posts.
