‘The Boy in the Woods’ is coming to digital on 27th May 2024 courtesy of 101 Films.
The remarkable true-life story stars Richard Armitage (‘The Hobbit’), Christopher Heyerdahl (‘Hell on Wheels’), Jett Klyne (‘WandaVision’), David Kohlsmith (‘Shazam!’) and Masa Lizdek (‘The Handmaid’s Tale’). The film is based on Maxwell Smart’s number 1 best-selling novel and it’s directed by Rebecca Snow (‘Cheating Hitler: Surviving the Holocaust’).
When Nazi soldiers arrive in Buczacz to forcibly relocate the remaining Jewish inhabitants, Max (Jett Klyne) narrowly escapes death as his mother urges him to run away from the trucks they’re about to board. Alone in the woods, he finds refuge with a compassionate farmer, Jasko (Richard Armitage) and his wife (Masa Lizdek), who shelter him at great risk to themselves in return for help around the farm.
But with the SS closing in and the threat of discovery looming, they decide it’s too dangerous for them to keep him hidden. At the risk of losing their lives, they’re compelled to send Max deeper into the dense forest in the hope he can survive until the war ends.
As he sets off in fear, he knows he must endure the dark and cold woods and do everything he can to avoid his cruel pursuers. Showing unbelievable strength and courage in the face of adversity, he not only fends for himself, but also takes responsibility to help others along the way.
‘The Boy in the Woods’ is released on digital on 27th May 2024 via 101 Films.
