Henry-JohnsonStarting Friday May 9th, the film is set to open at the Aero Theatre in Los Angeles, as well as to rent on HenryJohnsonMovie.com. Additional theater listings is set to follow.

The film star Evan Jonigkeit, Shia LaBeouf, Chris Bauer, Dominic Hoffman. The film adaptation is Pulitzer Prize winner’s first movie in a decade.

Written and Directed by Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet, HENRY JOHNSON follows the title character (Jonigkeit) as he navigates his search for a moral center, after an act of compassion upends his life. Looking to authority figures he encounters along the way — including his eventual cellmate, Gene (LaBeouf) — Henry’s journey leads him down a road of manipulation and ethical uncertainty. The film is an exploration of power, justice and the consequences of letting others choose your path for you.
