RUSSELL CROWE AND DANIEL MACPHERSON UNLEASH IN THE STAN ORIGINAL BEAST, PREMIERING JUNE 4.
Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe is stepping back into the ring — this time as a veteran fight trainer — in the Stan Original film Beast.
Russell Crowe (Gladiator, Nuremberg) is commanding as Sammy, the trainer whose relationship with champion fighter Patton James (Daniel MacPherson) embodies tough love, hard-won forgiveness, and the complex bonds between mentors and the fighters they shape.
Beast is a powerful story of redemption, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family that pulse through every frame. More than a fight drama, Beast is a reckoning with love, loss, and what we’re truly made of when everything is on the line.

When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte — a lawyer like her father — is the first witness on the scene. As the case unfolds and twists through painful memories and buried secrets, what emerges is not just a story of survival, but of enduring ties between a father, his daughters and the complex bond between sisters.

Whether it’s the Thomas family facing the collapse of their reign, Unique (Joey Bada$$) fighting to preserve his legacy or the Mafia maneuvering behind the scenes, many sacrifices will be made. However, nothing will stand in the way of Kanan’s pursuit of power. After all, this isn’t the end for Kanan Stark. It’s just the beginning.
