In the highly-anticipated first look at Doug Liman's updated version of the 1989 classic, Road House, we are introduced to Jake Gyllenhaal as the protagonist Elwood Dalton. Gyllenhaal portrays an ex-UFC middleweight fighter who is bound by a tumultuous past. The nearly two-and-a-half-minute trailer showcases a flurry of intense fights, raising anticipation for this gripping action-packed film.
Elwood Dalton finds himself living out of his battered car, participating in underground fighting rings when he is discovered by bar owner Jessica Williams. She extends an offer for him to work at her establishment, mentioning that lately, her roadhouse in the Florida Keys has been attracting undesired clientele. Her proposition comes with the promise of good pay, which is a welcomed sight for Elwood, judging from his dilapidated vehicle.
