The 2025 film Americana told the story of Penny Lo (Sydney Sweeney), a woman caught in the crosshairs of a war for a Native American artifact. From director Tony Tost, of Pokerface fame, the film is a small and contained heist film in a lot of ways, and a lot of fun.
Described as a “neo-noir Western,” the movie really does harken back to the old style of Western films we used to love, with a modern twist to it. And with a stellar cast, including Eric Dane, Halsey, Simon Rex, Paul Walter Hauster, and more, there is a lot to enjoy with the film and we’re excited to share an exclusive clip from Tony Tost’s Americana ahead of its release on digital and Blu-ray!
There are twists, gun fights, and more and it is a really fascinating Western film for the modern era! Americana is described as follows: “A gallery of dynamic characters clash over the possession of a rare Native American artifact in this wildly entertaining modern-day Western. After the artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Simon Rex). Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).”
In the exclusive clip, you can see Lefty Ledbetter (Paul Walter Houser) proposing to Brittany Gable (Austin Boyce) in public (never a good idea) and by the look on Brittany’s face, Lefty maybe should have thought about that. Especially since it is only their 4th date.
Americana is now available on digital and on Blu-ray from Lionsgate!
