The trailer for genre-bending action-thriller 40 Acres, starring Danielle Deadwyler is out.

In 40 Acres, “After a plague eradicates all animal life, famine spreads across the globe, leaving society at war and in ruins, but the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on their ancestral farm so long as they dispatch the occasional raiding party. But what good is surviving the end of the world if it means snuffing out your own humanity? Former soldier Hailey (Deadwyler) made that choice years ago, believing that isolation was the only way to protect her family. She and her partner Galen (Greyeyes) fled the collapse along with their children, fenced them off from the world, and trained them to fight (and, yes, kill). But now Hailey’s eldest, Emanuel (O’Connor), is a young man, and when he meets a young woman (Diaz-Rojas) in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy.’

40 Acres marks the feature debut of director R.T. Thorne, who co-wrote the screenplay with Glenn Taylor and Lora Campbell.

Magnolia Pictures will release 40 Acres in theaters nationwide on July 2, 2025.
