An exclusive look has been released for Paper Tiger, the upcoming crime thriller from acclaimed filmmaker James Gray, whose previous credits include Ad Astra and The Lost City of Z.

Set in New York City during the mid-1980s, Paper Tiger follows two brothers whose search for financial success draws them into the dangerous world of organised crime.

The story centres on Irwin, played by Miles Teller, an engineer who becomes involved in what appears to be a promising business opportunity offered by his brother Gary, portrayed by Adam Driver, a former police officer. However, after witnessing something he was never meant to see, Irwin finds himself entangled in a growing conflict involving the emerging Russian mafia.

As tensions rise and the threat of violence increases, Irwin's wife Hester, played by Scarlett Johansson, becomes increasingly concerned for her family's safety.

With danger closing in from all sides, Irwin and Gary are forced to make difficult decisions in a desperate bid to protect those closest to them.
