"There are few things more primal than a parent fighting to protect their child. And seeing it onscreen taps into a universal wellspring of emotion: anxiety, fear, and panic, of course, but also love. What wouldn't we do to keep our kids safe? That's the question Ryan Phillippe faces in Republic Pictures' new double-feature, One Mile: Chapter One and Chapter Two."
"For many of us, Phillippe will always be the brooding heartthrob of the late '90s. But in this two-part action thriller, he steps into a different kind of role: a father reckoning with guilt and the tightrope act of trusting the world with your kid while trying to shield them from the worst of it. And as a dad of three himself, Phillippe brings real-life perspective to the emotional core of the movies."
One Mile: Chapter One and Chapter Two follow a former special forces operative who tries to reconnect with his teenage daughter during a college-visit road trip that devolves into a relentless fight for survival. Ryan Phillippe plays the father balancing guilt over military absence with fierce determination to protect his child. Amélie Hoeferle portrays the angsty, artistic daughter chosen after an exhaustive casting search. Phillippe's real-life experience as a father of three informs the emotional core and the portrayal of parental anxiety, love, and sacrifice. The films combine high-octane action with intimate father-daughter drama and themes of trust, guilt, and protection.
