It’s full throttle Cage Rage as Nicolas Cage is pushed into hallucinatory madness in Irish director Lorcan Finnegan’s deliriously sweaty psycho-thriller played out on Australia’s sun-drenched beaches.

A man returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son but his paradise is now the territory of surfing gang the Bay Boys and their policy is “locals only.” But this washed-up wanderer is chasing a dream and not going to give in without a fight…

With its exceptional cast and hypnotic, pulsating score THE SURFER is an impeccably scripted descent into the abyss that is topped by Cage at its most gloriously unhinged—feral, desperate, and utterly hypnotic.
