Foster

SYNOPSIS

Top Film Distribution is excited to present FOSTER, an adrenaline-charged action thriller from the producer of A Working Man set in the 1980s, led by Academy Award nominee and two-time Golden Globe winner James Franco (127 Hours, Spider-Man, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Why Him?, The Interview, Oz the Great and Powerful). The film also stars Golden Globe winner and two-time Emmy nominee Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Hellboy II, Don't Look Up, Fantastic Beasts, Pacific Rim, Blade (1) and Natalie Burn (The Expendables 3, Til Death Do Us Part, The Enforcer, Mechanic: Resurrection). FOSTER is a passion project spearheaded by Franco — a visceral, action-driven story with emotional depth and cinematic spectacle, designed for the big screen. Directed by Emmy Award winner and four-time nominee Timothy Woodward Jr. (Studio City), the film combines explosive action with a powerful, character-driven narrative, alongside Ryan Pilon, Alan Cohen, Kevin McGill, and Christopher Duddy behind the camera — talents who have worked on such projects as Alita: Battle Angel, Free Guy, Star Trek Beyond, Avatar, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man. Haunted by his past and clawing his way through sobriety, Donald "Don" Foster (Franco) wants nothing more than peace — one day at a time. But when June (Burn), a troubled addict, abandons her young son (Wesley River) on his doorstep, Don is pulled deep into a violent underworld. Hunted by his former boss Brooks (Perlman) — a ruthless crime lord who knows every secret Don swore to bury — he must fight for redemption, protect the boy, and confront the sins of the woman who dragged him back in... one bullet at a time. James Franco takes the action genre by storm. An actor who has already mastered drama, comedy, satire, and thriller with unforgettable performances, Franco embraces a bold new role as a leading man in a high-octane action thriller — one where the hero must carve his way through waves of enemies while grappling with weighty moral dilemmas. FOSTER is a love letter to classic action films, where richly drawn characters and a clever, memorable story take precedence over fleeting thrills, leaving a lasting impact long after the credits roll.
