There's a new TV spot for Oliver Stone‘s upcoming crime drama Savages, which tells the story of marijuana growers Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch) as they face off against a Mexican drug cartel who kidnapped their shared girlfriend.
Blake Lively, John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsch, and Demian Bichir are also featured in the movie.
Based on the novel of the same name by Don Winslow, Savages debuts on July 6th, 2012.
Heres the synopsis for the film:
Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry–raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town… until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon–with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (Travolta)–wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high-stakes, savage battle of wills.
