DESCRIPTION

Christian Bale returns to the big screen for Scott Cooper’s (“Crazy Heart”) “Out of the Furnace.” He plays Russell Blaze, a mill man in the economically-depressed Rust Belt. Casey Affleck plays his brother Rodney, a soldier damaged by the Iraq War.

The film features an impressive cast that includes Woody Harrelson, Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe, Zoe Saldana, and Sam Shepard.
