An otherworldly vision comes home when “Kin” arrives on Digital November 6th and on 4K Ultra HD™ Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital), Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand November 20th from Summit Entertainment, a Lionsgate company.
From the producers of Arrival and TV’s “Stranger Things,” this riveting film follows a recently released ex-con and his adopted teenage brother who find themselves on the run from a vengeful criminal, the feds, and a group of relentless soldiers, with only a mysterious and powerful weapon at their side. An emotional sci-fi story about family, adulthood, mystery, and time, “Kin” stars Jack Reynor (“Sing Street,” “Glassland”), Teen Choice Award nominee Zoë Kravitz (Choice Movie Chemistry, “X-Men: First Class,” 2011), with two-time Golden Globe® nominee Dennis Quaid (Best Actor – TV Movie, “The Special Relationship,” 2011; Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, “Far from Heaven,” 2003), and Oscar® nominee James Franco (Best Actor, “127 Hours,” 2010), and introducing Myles Truitt (upcoming “Dragged Across Concrete”).
Recently released from prison, Jimmy (Reynor) hopes to reconnect with his younger adopted brother, Eli (Truitt), and estranged father (Quaid). But after a run-in with a vengeful criminal (Franco), Jimmy and Eli become fugitives with one hope for survival: a metallic box from another dimension that transforms into a superpowered weapon and leads Eli to discover his true identity—a hero destined for greatness—in this thrilling action-adventure with a sci-fi twist.
