Retired superhero Samaritan is making his debut on Prime Video at the end of August, and the streamer has released a first trailer, starring Sylvester Stallone.

Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbour Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone) is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty-five years ago, Granite City’s super powered vigilante, Samaritan, was reported dead after a fiery warehouse battle with his rival, Nemesis. Most believe Samaritan perished in the fire, but some in the city, like Sam, have hope that he is still alive. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to coax his neighbour out of hiding to save the city from ruin.

Pilou Asbæk also stars as the villain of the piece. The movie is directed by Julius Avery from a script by Bragi F. Schut and premieres on August 26.
