Action-Thriller "Guns & Moses" Tells the Story of a Reluctant Hero

Pictures From The Fringe and Concourse Media announce the release of their upcoming action-thriller GUNS & MOSES, set to hit theaters nationwide this summer. A first glimpse of the film has been unveiled, offering audiences a powerful preview of its gripping, character-driven exploration of justice and the fight to protect what matters most.

Watch the first look teaser here. 

The film stars Mark Feuerstein (WHAT WOMEN WANT, DEFIANCE, "Royal Pains"), Neal McDonough ( THE LAST RODEO, "Tulsa King," "Yellowstone"), Alona Tal ("Cross," "Veronica Mars," BROKEN CITY), Craig Sheffer (A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT) and rising star Jackson Dunn (BRIGHTBURN) alongside screen legends Christopher Lloyd (BACK TO THE FUTURE, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT) and Dermot Mulroney (MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING, THE WEDDING DATE, "Chicago Fire,"), rounding out  a powerhouse cast that brings this story to life with intensity and depth. 

Directed by Salvador Litvak and written by Nina Litvak & Salvador Litvak, GUNS & MOSES was inspired by the 2019 synagogue shooting and murder at Chabad of Poway in California. The story follows a high desert rabbi who becomes an unlikely gunfighter after a violent attack on his community. Anchored by complex characters and a twisting narrative reminiscent of CHINATOWN, the film delves into the lengths one man will go to protect his people and uncover the truth. 

​​At the heart of the film is Rabbi Mo, a fully-rounded character who also stands for something larger than himself. As director Salvador Litvak explains, "In crafting GUNS & MOSES, we aimed to make Rabbi Mo an iconic character, dedicated to the proposition that even the least likely among us will step up when we need him or her the most."

The film  includes an unforgettable cat-and-mouse sequence at a thermal solar energy facility in the Mojave Desert, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Mount Rushmore scene in NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

GUNS & MOSES arrives at a time of rising tension as antisemitic attacks grow in the U.S. and around the world. Many American Jews are rethinking personal protection, and the film captures this shift with humor and heart. Backed by unexpected allies like the millions of Christian Zionists, GUNS & MOSES tells a timely story of strength and shows how unlikely heroes can rise when their community needs them.

 

In the wake of October 7th  and continued violence such as the recent attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home, it has become more important than ever for Jewish communities across the country to be protected. 

The film includes authentic firearms training based on Litvak's own experience as a member of Magen Am, a volunteer organization that trains and licenses members to protect their synagogues and other Jewish institutions, while emphasizing safety and situational awareness.

Litvak notes, "I did not grow up around guns. Like many American Jews, I didn't consider the Second Amendment to be very important. As an adult, however, I became an Orthodox Jew - which is to say a visible Jew - and I grew increasingly aware of the danger to our community. So, like Rabbi Mo I stepped up and became a guardian. I hope that our movie will inspire others to do the same and, having hardened our perimeter, I pray we'll never be put to the test."

GUNS & MOSES is a thrilling ride inspired by real events, and a powerful reminder that courage, faith, and unity can light the way forward.
