Savages. Opens in theaters July 06, 2012.
Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and friend Chon (Taylor Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL, run a lucrative, homegrown industry — raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with Ophelia (Blake Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town … until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond of the three friends, Ben and Chon — with the reluctant assistance of a dirty DEA agent (John Travolta) — wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.
Directed by Oliver Stone from a screenplay co-written with Don Winslow, from whose book the film was adapted, and Shane Salerno.
Running time: 140 minutes Rated R for strong brutal and grisly violence, some graphic sexuality, nudity, drug use and language throughout.
