"The Purge" star Frank Grillo is trying to prevent a catastrophic financial meltdown in the newly-released trailer for the cyber-attack thriller "The Crash."

Grillo leads a large ensemble cast that includes Mary McCormack, Minnie Driver, John Leguizamo, Dianna Agron, Christopher McDonald, Ed Westwick, AnnaSophia Robb and more, in this ticking-clock thriller about cyber terrorists who have targeted wall street and the global economy.

Here, Grillo plays Guy Clifton, a successful and brilliant stock trader who has just been indicted by the FBI for hacking the stock market. But when malicious foreign hackers breach the operating system of the stock exchange, the U.S. government is left with no other choice but to grant Guy full immunity in exchange for his knowledge and skills in rooting out the perpetrators and putting a stop to their nefarious plans.

Directed by Aram Rappaport (Syrup), "The Crash" is hitting theaters and VOD on January 13, 2017.

synopsis:
Set in the future when the US economy is on the brink of yet another massive financial crisis, The Crash tells the story of Guy Clifton, a federally-indicted stock trader, who is secretly enlisted by the federal government to help thwart a cyber-attack aimed at the US stock markets -- an attack that could permanently cripple the economy.

Our 'richer than God' protagonist is charged with assembling a team capable of running the government's top secret 'shadow stock exchange' in an attempt to keep the markets from mass panic in the event the cyber-hijack is successful. Having only ever been fueled by his love of money, Guy fully intends to use his insider knowledge of this world catastrophe for personal gain until he unearths the organization behind the attack and discovers its motives. For the first time in his life, Guy is challenged to make decisions not only for himself, but also for the good of his country -- decisions that are rooted in morality rather than dollar signs.
