Director Steven Soderbergh’s latest crime drama, set in 1954 Detroit, will premiere at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival on June 18, followed by an early July HBO Max release.

“The story centers on a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document. When their plan goes horribly wrong, their search for who hired them — and for what ultimate purpose — weaves them through all echelons of the race-torn, rapidly changing city,” reads the official synopsis.

 Soderbergh said that he was ‘very happy’ with an outdoor premiere. “A year ago I was on lockdown in Tribeca, so I never imagined we could return 12 months later with a new movie screening for a live audience in our neighborhood.”

A teaser was released on May 20. “No Sudden Move” will debut on HBO Max on July 1. Watch the full teaser below:
