But when the FBI’s operation goes wrong, resulting in the death of an undercover NYPD cop, Pete is coerced into returning to Bale Hill, the prison he previously served time in for manslaughter, to take down the cartel from the inside.

“It’s no secret that cinephiles and action-lovers of all stripes have missed the summer movie experience,” said Peter Jarowey of Vertical Entertainment and Zach Tarica of The Forest Road Company. “That’s why we’re thrilled to finally bring The Informer to domestic audiences – a star-studded, twisty spy thriller that’s bound to bring the same white-knuckle, heart-pumping premium experience we’ve come to expect from a theater to the couches in your own home.”
The deal was negotiated by Josh Spector at Vertical and Ethan Rosenbaum on behalf of Noriva and The Forest Road Company.
