What is Lionsgate’s 1992 about?

“In 1992, Mercer (Tyrese Gibson) is desperately trying to rebuild his life and his relationship with his son (Christopher A’mmanuel) amidst the turbulent 1992 LA uprising following the Rodney King verdict,” the synopsis reads. “Across town, another father and son (Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood) put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum, from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise in Los Angeles and chaos erupts, both families reach their boiling points when they collide in this tense crime-thriller.”

1992 is directed by Ariel Vromen, who previously made 2012’s The Iceman with Michael Shannon and 2016’s Criminal with Kevin Costner. Vromen co-wrote the screenplay with Sascha Penn, based on a story by Penn.

Vromen also produces the movie alongside Andreas Rommel, Maurice Fadida, Sascha Penn, and Adam Kolbrenner.

Snoop Dogg is executive producing 1992 through his Death Ros Pictures banner. Tita also serves as an executive producer.

“Snoop is one of the most beloved figures in entertainment and I could not be more thankful that he chose to join our project,” Gibson said in a statement. “Ray Liotta blessed all of us in life while doing this film. For 1992 to be Ray’s last offering, we all feel so fortunate to have captured such a masterful and chilling performance.”

1992 releases in United States theaters on August 30, 2024, from Lionsgate.
