Road House stars Gyllenhaal as Elwood Dalton, an ex-fighter tasked with turning around a bar in the Florida Keys. The film is a reimagining of 1989’s Road House starring Patrick Swayze.
The official synopsis reads: “In this adrenaline-fueled reimagining of the 80s cult classic, ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems.”
One of Gyllenhaal’s costars is former UFC champion McGregor, who plays Knox, one of the villainous henchmen hired to take out Dalton. Road House marks McGregor’s acting debut.
Road House‘s ensemble includes Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Darren Barnet, Arturo Castro, and J.D. Pardo.
Road House is directed by Doug Liman from a screenplay by Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry. Liman recently announced he will boycott the film’s world premiere at SXSW in Austin over Amazon MGM Studios refusing to release the film in theaters.
Road House will stream globally on Prime Video beginning March 21.
