About The Samaritan
After twenty years in prison, Foley is finished with the grifter's life. When he meets an elusive young woman named Iris, the possibility of a new start looks real. But his past is proving to be a stubborn companion.
Directed by David Weaver, The Samaritan leans on a strong ensemble — Samuel L. Jackson, Luke Kirby, Ruth Negga — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2012.
