Motor City represents a 2025 American action thriller crafted by writer Chad St. John and helmed by director Potsy Ponciroli. The movie features actors Alan Ritchson, Ben Foster, Pablo Schreiber, Lionel Boyce, and Shailene Woodley in portraying John Miller (Alan Ritchson), a former convict seeking retribution against gangster (Ben Foster) who wrongfully imprisoned him for an offense he did not commit while also abducting his girlfriend (Shailene Woodley) in 1977 Detroit. This production contains sparse dialogue, relying on rock music and combat sequences to advance the narrative.
