Dopo 14 anni di isolamento nel carcere di massima sicurezza di Pelican Bay, alla prima occasione di libertà, Garrett Tully si mette nuovamente nei guai quando prende in ostaggio una famiglia di neri tenendo fede alle sue convinzioni da membro della fratellanza ariana. Il patriarca della famiglia, il signor Walker, è un ex detenuto che odia i poliziotti al punto di aver anche ripudiato il figlio per esserlo diventato.

Curiosità

Supremacy is a 2014 American drama thriller film directed by Deon Taylor, written by Eric J. Adams, and starring Joe Anderson, Dawn Olivieri and Danny Glover. The film chronicles the real life events of March 29–30, 1995, perpetrated by Aryan Brotherhood members Robert Walter Scully Jr. and Brenda Kay Moore. After fatally shooting a police officer, neo-Nazi Garrett Tully, along with his companion, Doreen Lesser, breaks into a house and takes an African-American family hostage.

Production

After "floating around [for many years] as an independent filmmaker", Deon Taylor began looking for a "more serious project" to direct; one that would take him "out of the [horror] genre". In most cases, he couldn't find any that were "motivating". At the time, he had just finished directing Chain Letter, an independent horror film.

While in Los Angeles, Taylor met with producer Vincent Cirrincione, who was "a fan of [his] work at the time". Cirrincione said he had "this script", but "didn't know" if it was right for Taylor because it was "one of those movies that could go either way". Taylor asked for the script and read it while flying back to Sacramento.

Taylor stated he "spoke with the family" that was taken hostage; having an "incredible conversation" with them about everything that "went down". He didn't "have enough time" to speak with Scully; who was on "death row" at the time, so he "couldn't get [an] entire story". Taylor said he "[solely] went with the family's perspective" because it was all "[he could] do".

The screenplay was written by Eric J. Adams.

Anderson, Glover, and Dawn Olivieri were the first to be cast; the announcement was made on February 9, 2012, by Indiewire.
