“Cutting, audacious, astonishing…a screw-loose buddy movie for our time.” - Variety'Wealthy New York City teenager Balthazar "Balthy" Malone (Jaeden Martell) has a crush on a classmate who organizes gun control protests. To gain her attention, he creates dramatic social media videos pleading for stricter gun laws. When an online troll (Asa Butterfield) begins mocking his videos, Balthy becomes convinced that he is communicating with a potential mass shooter and impulsively decides to travel to Texas to confront him in person. What starts as a misguided hero's journey evolves into a complex encounter between two young men from vastly different worlds, each struggling to find their place in a divided America.'
'Lonely young men on the internet, gun culture, school shootings and a need to be seen are themes colliding in Oscar Boyson‘s disturbingly twisted feature film debut Our Hero, which might just be a little too real to be a comfortable watch for many.'
"Jaeden Martell & Asa Butterfield Navigate Darkest Corners Of The Internet In Twisted, Comic And Disturbing Tale Of Two Teens" - Deadline
