Guns Akimbo

USA Deutschland Neuseeland 2018/2019 Spielfilm

The world in the near future: The uneventful life of the eternal loser Miles takes a dramatic turn when he is kidnapped by the mysterious secret organization Skizm, who force him to take part in a game of life and death. Automatic weapons are screwed to his hands and other players are sent after him. The most dangerous of them is the gladiator Nix. Whoever survives the game is set free. First, Miles tries to escape the perverse game by fleeing, but when his ex-girlfriend Nova is kidnapped by Skizm boss Riktor, his fighting spirit awakens and he does everything he can to save Nova.
