New Poster for The Last Stand

A new poster for the action crime thriller The Last Stand has been released by the studio (right; click for larger image). The tagline: "Not in his town. Not on his watch."

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his big-budget return in the film, in which he stars as Sheriff Owens, a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Summerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled.

After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for the face off.

The Last Stand, directed by Jee-woon Kim, is scheduled to open in US theaters January 18th, 2013.
