Shoot to Kill
It's about staying alive.
Directed by Roger Spottiswoode
Produced by Century Park Pictures, Silver Screen Partners III
A tense wilderness thriller that pits an out-of-place FBI agent against a cunning killer, anchored by the growing bond between two men forced to survive together in hostile terrain.
When a cunning murderer vanishes into the rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest, pursuing FBI agent Warren Stantin must exchange familiar city streets for unknown wilderness trails. Completely out of his element, Stantin is forced to enlist the aid of expert tracker Jonathan Knox. It's a turbulent yet vital relationship they must maintain in order to survive... and one that becomes increasingly desperate when Knox's girlfriend Sarah becomes the killer's latest hostage!
