Would you stop to pick up a stranger on the side of the road? This question fuels the high-stakes drama in the upcoming thriller ‘The Passenger,’ starring Djimon Hounsou and Kodi Smit-McPhee in a heart-racing story about a quick buck taking a wrong turn.
Desperate to make ends meet, a Somali-American driver (Hounsou) agrees to transport a mysterious young man (Smit-McPhee) to Chicago for a cash payout. However, he soon realizes his rider is on a radical, dangerous mission—plunging them both into a deadly fight for survival.
From Vertical Entertainment, the film is written by Bennett Fisher and directed by Vadim Perelman.
Check out the trailer here. ‘The Passenger’ arrives in select theaters and on Apple TV this Friday, June 5.
