Mel returns: Mel Gibson teams up with Kate Bosworth and Emile Hirsch to fight off some deadly criminals in the midst of a Category 5 hurricane in the first trailer for Force of Nature
Save: Gibson plays a retired detective who enlists the help of a disgraced cop (Hirsch) to save his daughter (Bosworth) from a gang of criminals during a massive storm.
The trailer begins with Hirsch’s Cardillo and his partner Jess (Stephanie Cayo) are trying to evacuate a high-rise apartment building.
They knock on the door of Dr. Troy (Bosworth), who reveals her father Ray (Gibson) will not leave her apartment.
‘I’m staying here, I’m not leaving,’ Ray says, as Troy reminds him, ‘There’s a Category 5 hurricane outside, you forgot about that,’ as Ray inquires, ‘They think it’s a 5 already?’

After news reports reveal that the storm, with winds upward of 160 mph would ‘devastate Puerto Rico, Cardillo informs Dr. Troy that, ‘if your dad doesn’t wanna leave, I can’t force him.’
She asks him to help her get him out of this building, but then a violent gang of machine gun-wielding criminals arrives, lead by John the Baptist (David Zayas).
Cardillo rushes back to get Dr. Troy, telling her they have to leave, as one of the criminals takes Jess hostage, until he’s gunned down by Ray.
Can’t force: After news reports reveal that the storm, with winds upward of 160 mph would ‘devastate Puerto Rico, Cardillo informs Dr. Troy that, ‘if your dad doesn’t wanna leave, I can’t force him.’
Ray then tells his daughter and the cops that John the Baptist is, ‘part of a crew’ who pull off ‘high end heist jobs,’ adding he has a friend downtown who has been chasing them for a month.’
When Troy asks what these guys want, Ray says he might have ‘a pretty good idea’ as John says there is ‘$55 million in this building.’
Cardillo says that it’s ‘blood money,’ which may imply that it’s money Ray stole during his time as a cop.

‘If we’re gonna stand any kind of chance, we’re gonna need all the firepower we can get,’ Ray says, as they find a cache of weapons.
John the Baptist says that Ray, Troy and Cardillo, ‘are trapped’ adding they’ll go ‘floor by floor until we find them.’
The trailer features a number of quickly-edited action shots including one where John mentions they’re in the eye of the hurricane, and Ray getting into a fistfight with John and Ray telling Jess to ‘shoot to kill, kid.’
Force of Nature, directed by Michael Polish (Big Sur) and also starring Will Catlett, Swen Temmel, Tyler Jon Olson and Jorge Luis Ramos, will be available on digital, on demand, Blu-ray and DVD formats June 30 through Lionsgate.
