Deadlock brings to life one man's journey of revenge for his son and is definitely a wild ride. The trailer for the film has dropped, courtesy of Saban Films, and also given us a first look at Bruce Willis as Ron Whitlock, a wanted criminal who chooses to hold an energy plant hostage after the killing of his son by police. Deadlock also stars Patrick Muldoon as a retired army ranger named Mack Karr who is trying to fight off Whitlock's attempt at flooding the entire town as revenge. The action-thriller is set to hit theaters, on-demand, and Digital on December 3.

The movie is written by Jared Cohn and Cam Cannon and directed by Cohn. And who doesn't want to usher in the holiday season with Willis? After all, we watch Die Hard at Christmas. So why not just add Deadlock to the holiday line-up this year and keep the Willis holiday cheer going?

Whitlock is standing in his home when he learns that his son was killed in a police raid and within seconds, he murders both the officers coming to his door to tell him about the loss of his son and then seemingly goes on a rampage to get his revenge, planning on taking the entire town down with him. Pairing Willis' action strengths with Muldoon's acting chops, this movie is definitely going to be a great entry into the Willis action genre.

More recently, Willis has taken to doing these action movies rather than things like The Sixth Sense or Moonrise Kingdom, but the genre that delivers thrills and stunts is where he has always really shined. Whether it be Die Hard or movies like Rian Johnson's Looper, we know Willis as an action star and what is interesting about Deadlock is that it turns Willis into our bad guy to boot.

Deadlock comes to theaters, on-demand and Digital on December 3. Watch the trailer below:

Here's the official synopsis for Deadlock:

Bruce Willis stars as Ron Whitlock, a wanted criminal leading a team of mercenaries on a mission of vengeance. Convinced that the government is working against them, the merciless group brutally seizes an energy plant and holds everyone inside hostage. With a nearby town on the brink of massive flooding and destruction, it’s up to one retired elite army ranger Mack Karr (Patrick Muldoon) to save thousands of innocent lives before it’s too late.
