In Samaritan, Sylvester Stallone plays a retired superhero, ready to return to action at the request of a 13-year-old

Prime Video has released the official trailer for Samaritan, an action-thriller directed by Julius Avery and starring Sylvester Stallone. Written by Bragi F. Schut, the film sees 13-year-old Sam Cleary suspect that his mysterious and lonely neighbor Mr. Smith is nothing more than an undercover legend. 

Twenty years ago, Granite City’s superpowered vigilante Samaritan was pronounced dead after a battle with his rival, Nemesis, in a burned-out warehouse. Many believe that Samaritan died in the fire but others in the city, like Sam, hope that he is still alive. As crime increases and the city is on the brink of chaos, Sam decides to persuade his neighbor to come out to save them from ruin.

The cast of the film also sees Javon “Wanna” Walton, Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moises Arias. Samaritan was produced by Sylvester Stallone and Braden Aftergood. Bragi F. Schut, David Kern, Adam Rosenberg, and Guy Riedel are executive producers.

“I love action movies that also have a heart. I’m glad to be in Samaritan because this story has many levels that I think people can relate to. It is a kind of moral tale that is also very exciting to watch. We are thrilled that this project will be available globally on Prime Video, where my fans and all audiences can enjoy it together around the world, ”said Sylvester Stallone of the film. Samaritan will be available on Prime Video from August 26th.
