The Nicolas Cage-aissance continues with a new movie from director Lorcan Finnegan. The new movie, The Surfer, sees Nicolas Cage star as a guy just trying to get his surf board back. There’s a lot more to it than that, but that’s the gist. You can watch the trailer for the film above.

It stars Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander Bertrand, and Justin Rosniak. The full synopsis goes like this.

In the psychological thriller directed by Lorcan Finnegan, a man returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son.  But his desire to hit the waves is thwarted by a group of locals whose mantra is “don’t live here, don’t surf here.”  Humiliated and angry, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising in concert with the punishing heat of the summer and pushes him to his breaking point. 

The Surfer releases in theaters on May 2nd, 2025 nationwide.
