A hero comes from within.

ActionThrillerCrimeScience Fiction

Max Fist claims he’s a hero from another dimension who has somehow landed on Earth and been stripped of his powers. Instead of treating him like a powerful champion, no one believes Max’s claims — except for a teenager named Hamster and his sister Indigo. The siblings convince Max to help them take out a local drug gang, where Max’s abilities are put to a violent and harrowing test.

VIBE

A brutal, low-fi superhero flick that feels like a fever dream. It’s a bloody, gritty dive into the dark side of heroism, where powers are messy and the streets are unforgiving. Expect visceral action and a bleak, unsettling tone.
