Antoine Fuqua’s THE EQUALIZER Trailer Hits Starring Denzel Washington

A bad storm is about to unleash in the form of Denzel Washington in this first trailer for director Antoine Fuqua’s THE EQUALIZER.

Written by Richard Wenk and based on the television series created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim, the film stars Marton Csokas, Chloë Grace Moretz, David Harbour, with Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo.

In THE EQUALIZER, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by – he has to help her.

Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help.

He is The Equalizer.

The film opens in theaters September 26, 2014.
