From the studio behind Uncut Gems, Good Time, and Zola, comes another heart-pounding tale about nothing going as it should. A24's next production from critically acclaimed writer/director Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine), follows a washed up middle-aged porn star in the run-down town of Texas City, Texas. Despite some critic’s claims, Texas City is a real town outside the coastal city of Galveston.
Baker’s built a reputation crafting stories representing those typically cast to the fringes of society, and Red Rocket is no different. Simon Rex stars in Red Rocket as Mikey, who returns to Texas City after spending the last 17 years recording adult films in Los Angeles.
