From John Frankenheimer, the director of "The Manchurian Candidate," "Ronin," and Elmore Leonard's "52 Pick-Up," comes this winter's fastest, sexiest, most dangerously slippery ride. REINDEER GAMES is a comic and clever, snowy action thriller starring Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Gary Sinise, Clarence Williams III and Dennis Farina. Filmed by the master of the double and triple-cross thriller, the film enters the colorful and conniving world of lowlife criminals scheming to turn a straightened ex-con crooked again.

Just released from prison, all Rudy Duncan (Affleck) wants is to start a new life with Ashley (Theron), the girl of his dreams, whom he met through pen pal letters in prison. But between them and happiness stands her crazy brother, Gabriel (Sinise), and his motley crue of deadly criminals who think Rudy has some inside information about a casino where he once had a job - a casino Gabriel and his shortfused posse plan to take down. Now, just as Rudy is beginning his new life, he's caught in a high-velocity avalanche of temptations and surprises that could bury him, unless he can artfully dodge them.

REINDEER GAMES, a Dimension Films release, is directed by John Frankenheimer from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger. The producers are Marty Katz, Bob Weinstein and Chris Moore. The executive producers are Harvey Weinstein, Cary Granat and Andrew Rona.
