In the sci-fi thriller “Midnight Special,” writerdirector Jeff Nichols proves again that he is one of the most compelling storytellers of our time, as a father (Michael Shannon) goes on the run to protect his young son, Alton (Jaeden Lieberher), and uncover the truth behind the boy’s special powers. What starts as a race from religious extremists and local law enforcement quickly escalates to a nationwide manhunt involving the highest levels of the Federal Government. Ultimately his father risks everything to protect Alton and help fulfill a destiny that could change the world forever in this genre–defying film as supernatural as it is intimately human. br br MIDNIGHT SPECIAL Trailer br A Movie directed by Jeff Nichols br Cast : Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver, Jaeden Lieberher, Sam Shepard, Bill Camp, Scott Haze, Paul Sparks br Release Date : In Theaters March 18th, 2016 br Genre : Sci Fi Thriller br br MIDNIGHT SPECIAL Trailer br © 2016 Warner Bros.
