Trailer Drops for Action Thriller Guns & Moses, Starring Dermot Mulroney and Christopher Lloyd

Posted on by

The official trailer for Guns & Moses has been released ahead of the film’s nationwide theatrical debut on July 18. The action-thriller, inspired by the 2019 Chabad of Poway synagogue shooting, centers on a rabbi forced into action after a violent attack on his community.

Directed by Salvador Litvak and co-written with Nina Litvak, the film stars Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains), Neal McDonough (Tulsa King), Alona Tal (Veronica Mars), Craig Sheffer (A River Runs Through It), Jackson A. Dunn (Brightburn), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), and Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend’s Wedding).

Reframing faith and resilience through the lens of modern self-defense, Guns & Moses draws from Litvak’s own training with Magen Am, a Jewish volunteer security force. “When we say never again, it means we need to step up and defend ourselves,” said Litvak, emphasizing the film’s real-world stakes.

Produced by Lee Broda and Aimee Schoof, both known for socially conscious storytelling, the project arrives at a time of increasing concern over antisemitic violence in the U.S. and abroad.

Guns & Moses opens in theaters July 18.
