The film, produced by independent studio Forrest Films, stars Michael Roark (Magic Mike, “The Young and the Restless”) as Marshall Bennett, a soldier in the Army Motorcycle Unit who is medically discharged from the service following an IED explosion overseas.
After undergoing life-saving surgery, Bennett’s motorcycle riding days are over. Things change when his family’s farm is about to be foreclosed upon.
Country musician Trace Adkins (The Lincoln Lawyer) stars as the protagonist’s father, Cal Bennett. Allison Page (“Days of Our Lives”) stars as Sophie Bennett, the protagonist’s wife and motocross crew team manager.
Bennett’s War hits theaters on Aug. 31.
