Vertical Entertainment has unveiled the first trailer and poster for their upcoming historical drama THE WEIGHT, which will launch in US theaters on September 18th, 2026. The film world premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
The Weight is directed by Padraic McKinley and stars Ethan Hawke, Julia Jones, Austin Amelio and Russell Crowe.
In the film, in 1933 Oregon, Samuel Murphy is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal work camp. Warden Clancy tempts him with early release if he smuggles gold through deadly wilderness, but betrayal festers within the crew, and Murphy questions how far he’ll go to see his child again.
