Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming film On Swift Horses, a sweeping and enigmatic romantic drama set against the backdrop of post-World War II America. Helmed by Daniel Minahan and based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl, the film is poised to captivate audiences with its rich narrative and stunning period setting. With a screenplay penned by Bryce Kass, On Swift Horses delves deep into themes of love, betrayal, and self-discovery, all set within a tumultuous yet transformative time in American history.

 

Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter, Diego Calva, and Sasha Calle, the film follows Muriel (Edgar-Jones), a woman whose life seems to be taking a turn for the better after her husband Lee (Poulter) returns from the Korean War. They settle into a quiet life in California, building a future together, but their new stability is soon shaken by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic but troubled brother, Julius (Elordi). A wayward gambler with a mysterious past, Julius quickly becomes a catalyst for chaos, pulling Muriel into a complicated love triangle.

With stunning performances from the cast, On Swift Horses promises to be a poignant exploration of passion, longing, and the desire for freedom in a rapidly changing world.

 

Set against the vibrant yet turbulent post-war American landscape, On Swift Horses brings to life a time of shifting societal norms and personal reinvention. As Muriel grapples with her own identity and desires, the film captures the emotional highs and lows of a woman breaking free from the confines of her past. Slated for release on April 25th, 2025, On Swift Horses is one to watch for fans of intimate, character-driven dramas that explore the complexities of love and human connection.
