Nicolas Cage stars in Lorcan Finnegan’s latest psychological thriller, a drama set against the backdrop of a sun-drenched coastline, where nostalgia, hostility, and searing heat fuel a tense conflict.
The story follows a man who returns to the picturesque beach of his childhood, hoping to bond with his son over their shared love of surfing. However, his plans take a turn when a group of territorial locals, fiercely protective of their turf, issues an ominous warning: “Don’t live here, don’t surf here.” Their hostility escalates tensions, leading to a conflict that challenges the protagonist’s resilience.
Nicolas Cage stars alongside Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander Bertrand, and Justin Rosniak, in what appears to be a tense and gripping tale of isolation and defiance. THE SURFER will be released in theaters nationwide on May 2, 2025
