1992 -- due out to theaters on August 30, 2024 -- is an Action, Crime, Thriller heist film that aims to keep you on the edge of your seat. The film stars Tyrese Gibson (The Fast & The Furious Franchise), Scott Eastwood (The Longest Ride), Christopher A’mmanuel (Black Lightning), Dylan Arnold (Oppenheimer) and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas). The film was directed an /co-written by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) and executive produced by Snoop Dogg.

Per the premise of the film, 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 L.A. uprising following the Rodney King verdict. 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.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Christopher A'mmanuel, Dylan Arnold and Ariel Vromen via Zoom this month, as embedded above and set to air via the Long Beach, New York-based Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz television series. More on 1992 can be found online by clicking here.
