Running with the Devil
starring Nicolas Cage, Laurence Fishburne, Leslie Bibb, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Clifton Collins Jr., Cole Hauser, Peter Facinelli
written and directed by Two Bronze Stars with Valor Highly Decorated Navy Seal Combat Veteran Jason Cabell (Smoke Filled Lungs) and produced by Michael Mendelsohn. When a cocaine shipment is compromised to the dismay of the Cartel’s ringleader, The Boss (Barry Pepper) orders his most trusted Man (Laurence Fishburne) and another master drug trafficker, The Cook (Nicolas Cage), on a dangerous journey to audit the company’s supply chain. We follow the cocaine from its origins as a coca plant in Colombia, where a hardworking family-man, The Farmer (Clifton Collins Jr.), and his wife and children must deliver the cocaine paste out of the treacherous mountainous jungles of Colombia on its first stop in a long journey north. The Cook and the Man, with The Executioner (Cole Hauser) on their heels, navigate the shipment across international borders, through a spectrum of federales, gangsters, refiners, and couriers into Canada, and on to the final point of purchase. This fast-paced adventure is a dangerous journey of life and death, as the Agent in Charge (Leslie Bibb) dogs the Cartel’s every turn, and a compromised Snitch (Adam Goldberg) threatens to destroy internal secrets… infuriating the Boss.
