Directed by Brett Halley and NY Times Critics Pick, The Hero stars Sam Elliott. The movie follows his character, who is an aging actor confronting mortality.  Watching Elliot in the trailer and clips, he takes the time to tell the story with undertones and lost innuendos.

He is Lee Hayden, a Western icon with a golden voice, but his best performances are decades behind him. While he spends his days reliving old glories and smoking too much weed with his former-co-star-turned-dealer, Jeremy, played by Nick Offerman, he is caught off guard with a surprise cancer diagnosis.

His priorities come crashing down into a sharp focus. He soon strikes up an exciting, contentious relationship with stand-up comic Charlotte, played by Laura Prepon, and he attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Lucy, played by Krysten Ritter.

All while he is searching for one final role to cement his legacy.

Watch the trailers and clips.  It is a beautiful and poignant celebration of life and the legacies we all leave behind.
