Multi-talented filmmaker and actor Jim Cummings is known for his popular films Thunder Road, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, and The Beta Test. But he’s beginning to build a nice resume outside of movies of his own creation. He’ll star next in The Last Stop In Yuma County, and if you think that sounds like an old-fashioned Western yarn, you’d be right.
Cummings, who also serves as an exec-producer, is joined by a huge and extremely talented ensemble that includes The Vast of Night breakout Sierra McCormick,Jocelin Donahue of The House of the Devil, plus Nicholas Logan, Michael Abbott Jr., Connor Paolo, Alexandra Essoe, Robin Bartlett, Jon Proudstar, Sam Huntington, Ryan Masson, and Barbara Crampton, Gene Jones, Faizon Love and Richard Brake.
The film marks the feature-length debut of writer/director Francis Galluppi. Here’s a synopsis, and it sounds like a classic shoot ’em up.
While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty—or cold, hard steel—to protect their bloodstained, ill-begotten fortune. “The Last Stop in Yuma County” premiered at the Fantastic Fest in September 2023 before heading to Sitges, where it won the best film prize in the Orbita section.
The Last Stop In Yuma County opens in theaters and digital on May 10th courtesy of Well Go USA.
