Lionsgate has released the official trailer for Americana, an offbeat and energetic modern western comedy written and directed by Tony Tost. Featuring a star-studded cast including Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Halsey, Simon Rex, Eric Dane, and Zahn McClarnon, the film promises a wild ride through greed, desperation, and cultural conflict—all centered around a rare Native American artifact. The film is set to hit theaters on August 22, 2025.
Set in the dusty outskirts of the American West, Americana follows a gallery of clashing characters whose lives unravel after a sacred Native artifact surfaces on the black market. Sydney Sweeney stars as a timid waitress with big ambitions who unexpectedly finds herself in a chaotic treasure hunt. She joins forces with a lonely military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser), and together, they navigate betrayal, danger, and dark comedy as they attempt to retrieve the relic.
The trailer teases a film brimming with tension, irony, and eccentric personalities. Eric Dane appears as a merciless enforcer, hired by a shady antiquities dealer (played with quirky menace by Simon Rex), while Halsey portrays a mysterious woman on the run from her past. Zahn McClarnon adds gravitas as the leader of an Indigenous group fighting to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs. With its sharp humor, violent standoffs, and morally blurred characters, Americana blends western tropes with modern cultural critique in a way that feels both timely and entertaining.
Director Tony Tost, known for his poetic yet gritty writing, makes his feature debut with a unique tone that echoes the Coen Brothers and El Camino alike. With a mix of indie flair and big-screen spectacle, Americana is shaping up to be one of the more unconventional and exciting films of the year. Audiences can expect a chaotic collision of ambition, identity, and Americana mythos when the film rides into theaters this August.
