January 20, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

Vertical Entertainment has released a poster and trailer for director Phillip Noyce’s (Patriot Games, Salt) upcoming thriller The Desperate Hour. Unfolding in real time, the film stars Naomi Watts as a mother in a desperate race against time to save her son after a shooting takes place at his school; take a look here…

Unfolding in real time, THE DESPERATE HOUR is a “riveting and pulse pounding” thriller from award-winning director Phillip Noyce. Recently widowed mother Amy Carr (Academy Award®-nominee Naomi Watts) is doing her best to restore normalcy to the lives of her young daughter and teenage son in their small town. As she’s on a jog in the woods, she finds her town thrown into chaos as a shooting takes place at her son’s school. Miles away on foot in the dense forest, Amy desperately races against time to save her son.

The Desperate Hour arrives in cinemas and on digital platforms on February 25th.
