Description
A modern-day noir Western unfolds in writer/director Tony Tost's feature film debut called "Americana."
The lives of a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney), a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser), a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane), an antiques dealer (Simon Rex), a leader of an Indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing from her mysterious past (Halsey) collide as they try to take possession of a rare Native American artifact.
"I describe it as kind of a crazy quilt of a small town crime film that bit by bit turns into an old-school Western," said Tost ("Poker Face," Damnation").
"Americana" opens in theaters Friday, Aug. 15.
