Check out the official trailer for The Last Rifleman, a poignant and heartfelt drama inspired by a true story. Pierce Brosnan stars as Artie Crawford, a resilient World War II veteran who has recently lost his wife and now resides in a care home in Northern Ireland. As the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings approaches, the memory of his fallen comrades weighs heavily on him. Determined to honor their sacrifice one last time, Artie escapes the confines of his care home and embarks on a daring journey to France. His mission? To stand on the hallowed grounds where history was made and pay his final respects to the brave souls who fought alongside him. What follows is an emotional, courageous, and at times humorous adventure that highlights the enduring spirit of a man unwilling to let age or circumstance stop him from fulfilling his last, most personal mission.
