The exciting trailer for Lionsgate’s “American Fighter” is out now.
“American Fighter” will be out in theaters May 21 and on DVD May 25.
Desperate for cash to save his deathly ill mother, college wrestler Ali (George Kosturos, American Wrestler: The Wizard) enters the hidden world of underground fighting. Ali shows promise, but he lacks skills, and gets beaten bloody. Duke (Sean Patrick Flanery, The Boondock Saints), a troubled handler, takes pity on the boy and trains him to be a fierce competitor — but is it enough to make Ali a winner? Based on a true story, this gritty action tale also stars Tommy Flanagan (“Sons of Anarchy”).
“American Fighter” stars George Kosturos, Tommy Flanagan, Bryan Craig, Allison Paige and Sean Patrick Flanery, directed by Shaun Piccinino, and written by Brian Rudnick and Carl Morris and Shaun Piccinino.
