Vertical has released the first trailer for The Get Out, putting Russell Crowe back in the middle of a hard-edged action thriller built around a nightclub owner who cannot quite outrun his past. The film is set for theaters on June 26, 2026, with a digital and on-demand release to follow on June 30.
That is why the film is drawing attention now: the trailer is the first public look at Crowe’s character and the clearest sign yet of how Vertical plans to roll the movie out next year. Crowe plays a man trying to leave his dangerous life behind and retire with his girlfriend, only for masked gunmen, cartels and robbers to drag him back into danger.
The setup gives The Get Out a familiar but workable engine. The official synopsis says a mysterious newcomer shows up with an interest in buying the business, and the nightclub owner is forced into a deadly web of deception, power and survival. The film also stars Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Nina Dobrev and Aaron Paul, adding more names to a cast built for a tense commercial thriller.
The trailer also points to the central friction that keeps the story moving: Crowe’s character wants out, but the world around him will not let him go quietly. He is not just fighting one enemy or one robbery. He is trying to protect his girlfriend while cartels close in and a buyer with unclear motives starts circling the business he hoped to leave behind.
The Get Out is directed by Derrick Borte, who co-wrote the screenplay with Daniel Forte, and it is based on Thomas Perry’s novel Strip, originally published in 2010. For viewers, the next milestone is already set. The film opens in theaters on June 26, 2026, then arrives digitally and on demand four days later, giving Vertical a tight launch window built around the trailer’s first burst of attention.
