Trailer: Russell Crowe’s ‘Unhinged’ poised to become first major release to hit theaters upon re-open

The new Russell Crowe thriller, Unhinged, is about to become the first wide release to hit theaters since the coronavirus pandemic when…if they re-open in July.

The psychological thriller from Solstice Studios will be the first new film to open in America’s movie theaters in accordance with state public health department safety guidelines on July 1, pre-empting Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, which is due July 17.

Academy Award winner Russell Crowe stars in Unhinged, a road rage psychological thriller that explores the fragile balance of a society pushed to the edge. Rachel (Caren Pistorius) is running late to work when she has an altercation at a traffic light with a stranger (Crowe) whose life has left him feeling powerless and invisible. Soon, Rachel finds herself and everyone she loves the target of a man who decides to make one last mark upon the world by teaching her a series of deadly lessons. What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse that proves you never know just how close you are to someone who is about to become unhinged.  

Unhinged is directed by Derrick Borte, produced by Lisa Ellzey, Mark Gill and Andrew Gunn and written by Carl Ellsworth. Here is the first trailer.
