“Family is worth fighting for”

Fightline.com (an MMA site) has a couple of new stills from Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior to share with everyone. We’ve also got a couple of new official pics from Lionsgate and some scans from the “Men of Warrior”.  I hope by now you know that Warrior is the new movie starring Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte that tells the story of two estranged brothers who both end up inside an MMA cage fighting each other for a championship.

Official synopsis: “An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan (Hardy) returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach (Nolte), to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother, Brendan (Edgerton), a former MMA fighter unable to make ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to provide for his family. Even though years have passed, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father. But when Brendan’s unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense, winner-takes-all battle of their lives.”

I saw a Lionsgate sponsored preview last month and all I can tell you is GO! Warrior opens in the US on September 9 and in the UK on 23 September.
