Below is the official synopsis for Eisener’s film Hobo With A Shotgun, which screens today and tomorrow at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city’s crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it’s time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.
Hobo With A Shotgun stars Rutger Hauer, Gregory Smith, Robb Wells, Molly Dunsworth, Brian Downey, Nick Bateman, Jeremy Akerman, Mark A. Owen, David Brunt, Michael Ray Fox, Glen Matthews, Pasha Ebrahimi, Scott Vrooman and Alexander Rosborough, and will be available on VOD, iTunes, XBOX Marketplace, Playstation Network and on Amazon.com April 1st, and then in select theaters on May 6, 2011.
