Embedded Files
In El Paso, a seemingly homeless person intervenes when a stylish woman attacks a young couple. The rescuer reveals himself as Sheriff Wyatt Marshall Law, a man who delivers justice with extreme prejudice. When the woman's death reveals a horrifying cult worshipping the cosmic entity Cthulhu, Sheriff Law finds himself facing an invasion of otherworldly evil. He must use every ounce of grit and determination to stop the cult's plans before they unleash unimaginable horror upon the city, but the cult's power is far greater than he could have ever imagined. Will he succeed?
Writer's Statement:
I've always loved the over-the-top action and larger-than-life characters of 80s action movies. 'Strike Hard' is my attempt to recapture that energy and excitement for a modern audience, while exploring themes of good versus evil and the lengths people will go to for their beliefs. The film's violence is meant to be visceral and shocking, reflecting the brutality of the cult and the desperation of the sheriff's fight. Ultimately, I hope the film's blend of action and dark fantasy will resonate with viewers who crave a thrilling, high-stakes story with a strong protagonist.
