Inspired by Charles Dickens’s iconic novel Oliver Twist, this action-fueled crime-thriller set in contemporary London follows the journey of Twist (Raff Law), a gifted graffiti artist trying to find his way after the loss of his mother. Lured into a street gang headed by the paternal Fagin (Oscar winner Michael Caine), Twist is attracted to the lifestyle — and to Red (Sophie Simnett), an alluring member of Fagin’s crew. But when an art theft goes wrong, Twist’s moral code is tested as he’s caught between Fagin, the police, and a loose-cannon enforcer (Lena Headey).

Twist is set for a theatrical and digital release on July 30th in the US and features a cast that includes Raff Law, Rita Ora, Franz Drameh, Sophie Simnett, Michael Caine, Lena Headey, David Walliams, Noel Clarke and Leigh Francis.
