Synopsis:


Parents will go to great lengths to protect their kids and that’s exactly what happens to a father and son in the new film Hammer. A father faces a personal crisis when he discovers his estranged son fleeing a botched drug deal. The two men embark on a violent odyssey that grapples with themes of fatherhood, family and fate.


It’s the story of a young man that is put in a terrible position after a deal goes sideways – a deal between him, a young woman, and a local criminal. Fleeing for his life, he finds himself turning to the only person willing to help him at any cost—his father. With his family’s life in jeopardy, he and his dad have to figure out how to fix everything and bring it all home while dealing with a murderous criminal that is willing to get blood on his hands.


The film stars Will Patton, Mark O’Brien, and Ben Cotton, Patton is a character actor probably best known for his roles in films such as Remember the Titans and Armageddon.


O’Brien is one of the more underrated actors working today, with great performances in the TV series Halt & Catch Fire, as well as films such as Marriage Story and Ready or Not.


Christian Sparkes wrote and directed Hammer. The filmmaker previously directed the 2014 film, Cast No Shadow.
