Lionsgate Premiere releases a trailer for "Aftermath (2017)", a based-on-true-story thriller. The trailer features Arnold Schwarzenegger as a husband and father who sets out on a journey to seek retribution for his wife and daughter's deaths.
The new "The Celebrity Apprentice" host stars as a construction foreman named Roman, who lost his wife and pregnant daughter in a terrible plane crash. It appears that the mid-air collision which killed his beloved persons is caused by an air traffic controller named Paul (Scoot McNairy). Roman demands an apology, and yet he hasn't received a word. "I just want to look at him in the eyes. Show the photograph of my family. I want him to apologize," he says.
His misery is further provoked when the airlines' lawyers thoughtlessly try to trade financial compensation for responsibilities. He decides to seek revenge and make Paul apologize on his own way, but things aren't easy for him. Paul and his family are vilified by angry public, thus they are placed in protective custody. The trailer ends with an intense scene where the two finally have an encounter.
Alongside the trailer, Lionsgate Premiere also reveals "Aftermath" first official poster.
Originally titled "478", the film is inspired by a true story of a Russian man named Vitaly Kaloyev whose family died in a plane accident caused by an air traffic controller. The movie is written by Javier Gullon ("Enemy") and directed by Elliot Lester ("Blitz"). "Aftermath" also stars Maggie Grace, Martin Donovan, Kevin Zegers and Glenn Morshower.
"Aftermath" will be released in U.S. theaters on April 7. It will also be made available on Video On Demand.
