Oscar nominee Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) wrote, directs, and stars in Monkey Man, playing a man who dedicates his life to protecting the powerless and exacting revenge on those responsible for the deaths of his family. The trailer suggests that revenge is primal and reveals the meaning behind the film’s title.

Patel came up with the idea for the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World). Patel, Jomon Thomas, Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Ian Cooper, Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Christine Haebler, and Anjay Nagpal served as producers. Executive producers include Jonathan Fuhrman, Natalya Pavchinskya, Aaron L. Gilbert, Andria Spring, Alison-Jane Roney, and Steven Thibault.

The Monkey Man Plot, Courtesy of Universal Pictures:

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
