Neon Unveils Hilarious Heist in Boots Riley’s “I Love Boosters” Trailer

Neon has released the full official trailer for the highly anticipated new comedy from visionary filmmaker Boots Riley, titled I Love Boosters. Set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026, the film promises a clever and chaotic heist wrapped in witty social commentary.

The story follows a ragtag crew of shoplifters—or “boosters”—who band together to take on a ruthless fashion mogul. In the film’s playful vernacular, a booster is “somebody who steals clothes from a store and sells them at a discount price, aka community service.” As the crew’s heists escalate, the clash between street smarts and corporate greed drives a rollercoaster of laughs and tension.

The ensemble cast is stacked with talent, featuring Keke Palmer, LaKeith Stanfield, Naomi Ackie, Demi Moore, Don Cheadle, Eiza González, Will Poulter, Poppy Liu, Hannah Alline, and Taylour Paige. Together, they bring both sharp humor and high-energy chaos to Riley’s signature style of socially aware comedy.

The trailer teases intricate heists, fast-paced capers, and witty banter, showing the boosters navigating clever schemes while taking on the cutthroat fashion industry. From store thefts to daring showdowns, the film blends clever satire with dynamic performances, promising a comedy that’s as stylish as it is subversive.

Written and directed by Boots Riley, known for his bold and socially conscious storytelling, I Love Boosters marks another inventive entry in contemporary American comedy. Fans of Riley’s previous work can expect sharp humor, biting commentary, and a colorful, unforgettable cast bringing the story to life.

I Love Boosters will premiere on May 22, 2026, delivering a comedic heist experience that’s equal parts clever, chaotic, and unforgettable.
