The Woman in the Yard and Carry-On star Danielle Deadwyler makes one last stand against a violent militia in the genre-bending action-thriller 40 Acres.
Magnolia Pictures will release 40 Acres in theaters nationwide on July 2, 2025.

In 40 Acres, “After a plague eradicates all animal life, famine spreads across the globe, leaving society at war and in ruins, but the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on their ancestral farm so long as they dispatch the occasional raiding party. But what good is surviving the end of the world if it means snuffing out your own humanity? Former soldier Hailey (Deadwyler) made that choice years ago, believing that isolation was the only way to protect her family. She and her partner Galen (Greyeyes) fled the collapse along with their children, fenced them off from the world, and trained them to fight (and, yes, kill). But now Hailey’s eldest, Emanuel (O’Connor), is a young man, and when he meets a young woman (Diaz-Rojas) in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy.’
