Universal City, California, December 1, 2020 – Global action hero Liam Neeson (Taken franchise, Batman Begins) stars as a notorious bank robber who turns himself in only to be double-crossed by a pair of corrupt FBI agents in the gripping thriller Honest Thief, available to own on Digital December 8, 2020 and on Blu-ray™, DVD, and On Demand December 29, 2020 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Filled with shocking twists and turns, the electrifying game of cat-and-mouse captivates audiences from start to finish as the merciless agents discover there’s nothing more dangerous than an elite criminal mastermind seeking justice. The high-octane film comes home just in time for the holidays and delivers non-stop action and “pure entertainment” (Pete Hammond, Deadline) that allows viewers to take part in uncovering the many layers of corruption that exist within the organization.
Led by Liam Neeson as the film’s courageous protagonist, Honest Thief is written, directed and produced by Mark Williams (“Ozark,” The Accountant) and features an all-star cast with Kate Walsh (“Grey’s Anatomy,” The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys, A Good Day to Die Hard), Anthony Ramos (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Hamilton), Jeffrey Donovan (“Burn Notice,” Sicario), and Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment, “The Unit”).
Meticulous thief Tom Carter (Neeson) has stolen $9 million from small-town banks while keeping his identity a secret. But after he falls in love with the bubbly Annie (Walsh), Tom decides to come clean about his criminal past, only to be double-crossed by two ruthless FBI agents. Packed with action, Honest Thief is a tale of redemption and one man’s mission to make things right for the sake of love.
