Gritty thriller ‘Black Flies’ is heading to Prime Video this month courtesy of Signature Entertainment.
Starring Sean Penn (‘Milk’), Tye Sheridan (‘Ready Player One’), Michael Pitt (‘Funny Games’), Katherine Waterston (‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’) and Mike Tyson (‘The Hangover’), the film is directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire (‘A Prayer Before Dawn’) from a script written by Ben Mac Brown and Ryan King (‘The Tutor’), based on Shannon Burke’s novel.
Ollie Cross (Sheridan) is ready to do good. In preparation for his dream of medical school, he hits the streets driving an ambulance alongside Rutkovsky (Penn), a grizzled veteran and one of New York’s best medics. Among the often startling jobs they encounter during Cross’s rookie tenure, nothing compares to the crisis that emerges when the partners respond to a call from a mother who has just given birth to a premature baby. Their handling of the mother and child will forever alter the course of both men’s lives.
