What happens in the Sovereign trailer?
Nick Offerman plays the role of Jerry Kane, and Jacob Tremblay portrays his son, Joseph, in the upcoming thriller, Sovereign. Inspired by true events, the movie’s official trailer showcases the duo adhering to the Sovereign Citizen belief system.
Check out the trailer below:
The description of the movie reads, “Inspired by true events, SOVEREIGN is a tense and provocative true crime thriller about a father and his teenage son — Jerry and Joseph Kane — who follow the Sovereign Citizen belief system, a deeply anti-establishment worldview rooted in distrust of government authority. As the pair travel across the country delivering self-taught legal seminars and pushing back against systems they believe have failed them, their journey brings them into conflict with Police Chief Jim Bouchart (Dennis Quaid), setting off a tragic chain of events that forces a reckoning with power, principle, and the limits of freedom.”
In addition to directing, Christian Swegal also serves as the screenwriter of the movie. It is produced by Nick Moceri and distributed by Briarcliff Entertainment. The story of the movie is based on the deadly 2010 shooting that took place in Arkansas during a traffic stop.
While talking about Swegal’s vision, Offerman told People that the director did “a wonderful job of creating real-life and blood, empathetic human beings who have been dealt a s—ty hand. What they choose to do with that then is tragic and unfortunate, but I think the audience can understand it.”
Sovereign will open in theaters on July 11, 2025, and will also be available to own or rent on the same date.
