The film's synopsis mentions, "Dalton is barely scraping by on the reputation that still precedes him when he is spotted by Frankie (Jessica Williams), owner of a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. She hires him to be her new bouncer in hopes of stopping a violent gang, working for crime boss Brandt (Billy Magnussen), from destroying her beloved bar.".
"As the brutal brawls and bloodshed escalate, the tropical Keys prove more dangerous than anything Dalton ever faced in the Octagon," it added.
In addition to Jake Gyllenhaal and Post Malone, "Road House" features an ensemble cast including Daniela Melchior, Joaquim de Almeida, Lukas Gage, Arturo Castro, BK Cannon, Beau Knapp, and Darren Barnet.
The upcoming movie is reported to be a "reimagining" of the 1989 film 'Road House,' which originally starred Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, and Sam Elliott in significant roles, according to MEAWW.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the original movie proved to be a commercial success, earning over $61 million at the box office with a production budget of just $15 million.
The film is set to be available for streaming on Prime Video starting from March 21st.
