Max Fist was the greatest hero of a vast city in another universe. He saved his world from destruction but crashed through space and time... and wound up here - a desolate American suburb. Or so he says.
Powerless and a broken drunk, no one believes Max’s stories about his glory days until he meets a kid called Hamster. When the mob comes after Hamster’s family, Max must learn what it means to be a hero — here, now, without superpowers — one brutal blow at a time.
A gritty and moody masterwork of urban mayhem featuring,
“Outstanding performances, and stunning set-pieces” (Starburst)
ARCHENEMY is a truly original superhero story for the 21st century.
Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision, the studio behind sensational hits Mandy
and Color Out of Space, delivers another slice of genre excellence, in
conjunction with Legion M (the first fan-owned film company), with a
fantastically colorful and entertaining blend of epic superhero
mythology and modern noir, recalling Sin City, Hancock and Watchmen,
from writer director Adam Egypt Mortimer, the red hot talent behind
2019’s acclaimed psychological horror Daniel Isn’t Real.
Featuring a throbbing synth score (from composer Umberto) and stylish visuals that mix in striking animated sequences, the film features a host of remarkable performances from a truly diverse cast - including True Blood’s Joe Manganiello as the mysterious Max Fist, Zolee Griggs (Wu-Tang: An American Saga), Skylan Brooks (TV’s Empire), Jessica Allain (from the forthcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre) - and unexpectedly nasty, against-the-grain appearances from comedy superstars Paul Scheer (The League) and Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia).
