The trailer also offers glimpses of co-stars including Austin Butler and Emma Stone. Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell and Micheal Ward also appear in the film.

"In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico," the film's official synopsis reads.
