THE MARKSMAN. Available to own for the first time on Digital April 27, 2021 and Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on May 11, 2021 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
Ex-Marine and hardened Arizona rancher Jim Hanson (Neeson) simply wants to be left alone as he tries to make a living on an isolated stretch of borderland. But everything changes when he witnesses 11-year-old migrant Miguel (Perez) and his mother (Ruiz) fleeing from a band of assassins sent by a ruthless drug cartel. After being caught in a shoot-out, Miguel’s mother begs Jim to take her son to the safety of their family in Chicago. Defying law-enforcement, Jim and Miguel hit the road and slowly begin to forge an unlikely friendship, while the cartel’s relentless assassins blaze a bloody trail, hot on their heels.
EXCLUSIVE BONUS FEATURE ON BLU-RAYTM, DVD AND DIGITAL:
- THE MAKING OF THE MARKSMAN – Filmmakers and cast discuss the richness of the story and characters, as well as their experiences working with legendary actor Liam Neeson.
Liam Neeson seems to always be playing the same character. Yet we can’t wait to see him do it again. The premise of this film is a lot like the 2020 Tom Hanks film, News of the World. In both, a loner has to deliver a young child across enemy territory to get them back to their family. This is obviously in a modern setting but the bond between characters is the same.
