There’s an exciting Face/Off reunion brewing between John Travolta and Gina Gershon in Collider’s exclusive first look at the brand-new trailer for High Rollers. Although Travolta won’t be trading faces with Nicolas Cage this time around, the movie still has crime drama roots, with the Saturday Night Fever actor appearing as a thief with some incredible talents. Arriving in theaters, on-demand, and on digital on March 14, the Ives-helmed movie looks to be another explosive outing from the director behind Savage Salvation and Midnight in the Switchgrass.
Travolta’s character, Mason, is on the lam in our exclusive first look at High Rollers when he’s pulled back into the heist game courtesy of Danny Pardo’s Salazar. Although he’s hesitant at first, after his beloved Decker, played by Gershon, is threatened by the fellow criminal, Mason decides to give the offer a second chance. The job? Pulling off a major robbery at a gorgeous hotel and casino where their target is sealed within the penthouse’s safe. Mason and his extraordinary team of talented thieves move quickly to get the mission done, but there are plenty of life-threatening obstacles in their way.
While Mason leads the charge, Decker takes matters into her own hands, demonstrating that she’s not in need of saving and is perfectly capable of being her own knight in shining armor. As the plot unfolds, with heaps of cash up for grabs, power moves will be played, and someone will come out empty-handed. Alongside cinematic legends John Travolta and Gina Gershon, the film also features performances from Lukas Haas, known for Inception and The Revenant, and Quavo from Savage Salvation.
While you may not recognize the filmmaker’s name at first, Ives is simply a pseudonym for producer and director Randall Emmett. Known for producing major Hollywood titles like The Irishman, Gotti, 2 Guns, and The Wicker Man, Emmett uses his pseudonym to separate his two titles. High Rollers marks his fourth foray into filmmaking and serves as a follow-up to his 2024 production, Cash Out. The script was penned by Chris Sivertson, who has written for projects like The Image of You, Double Life, and Sorority Sister Killer.
Fans can check out Collider’s exclusive first look at the trailer for High Rollers above and see it in cinemas on March 14, or watch it from the comfort of their own homes on digital and on demand the same day. With John Travolta and Gina Gershon at the helm, this thrilling heist film promises to deliver excitement and intensity that’s sure to captivate audiences.
