"Westworld" star Luke Hemsworth is legendary gunfighter "Wild Bill" Hickok in the newly-released trailer for the forthcoming indie western thriller, which also stars Kris Kristofferson, Bruce Dern, Trace Adkins, and Cameron Richardson.

Luke, who is the eldest brother of Chris and Liam Hemsworth, plays a thirty-something Hickok during his time in Abilene, Kansas.

But for a man who has been "running for his entire life," Hickok makes a bold decision to take a stand and "face his demons."

Directed by indie action filmmaker Timothy Woodward Jr. (Traded, American Violence), "Hickok" is hitting theaters, VOD and Digital HD on July 7th.

synopsis:
Infamous gunslinger and outlaw "Wild Bill" Hickok (Luke Hemsworth) attempts to escape his past by settling in the small town of Abilene, Kansas. The mayor (Kris Kristofferson), captivated by Wild Bill’s unparalleled gun skills, offers him a job as the town marshal. Attempts to protect the town are soon challenged when a band of outlaws threaten Wild Bill and the laws he administered. Among the outlaws are powerful saloon owner Phil Poe (Trace Adkins), whose relationship with Bill's ex-lover (Cameron Richardson) stirs tension. Poe puts a bounty on Wild Bill's head but with the help of lawman Hardin aka Little Arkansas, Wild Bill sets out to fight the villainous bandits and save Abilene from danger.
