Jason Satterlund’s new sci-fi thriller, The Abandon, is coming to theaters July 19, and On Demand and Digital on July 30 from Lionsgate. The official trailer is here with actor/producer Jonathan Rosenthal following the film’s Best Picture and Best Actor wins at 2022’s LA Indie Film Fest, and Best Science Fiction picture trophy at the 2022 Montreal Independent Film Festival.
Injured U.S. soldier Miles Willis (Rosenthal) awakens after witnessing a blinding white light on a battlefield in Iraq to discover he is trapped in a mysterious cube armed only with his combat gear. His dire situation escalates as the cube begins to change with violent shifts in gravity and the appearance of cryptic writing on the walls. As Miles begins to question his sanity, he finds a lifeline – a voice on the other end of his satellite phone who claims to be a prisoner in a similar space. As the walls close in, these two strangers must put their heads together if they are to outwit their captors and unlock this deadly puzzle.
