Lionsagte has premiered the official trailer for the new action thriller, 1992.

Executive produced by Snoop Dogg and starring Tyrese Gibson, the film follows a father who becomes entangled in a risky heist while trying to save his son from criminals during the 1992 L.A. uprising.

“1992 was a life-changing time for me, from Deep Cover to The Chronic. But as things in my life were coming together, everything in LA was coming apart. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement received by Blavity’s Shadow and Act. “This movie is about an LA moment. Ariel made an outstanding film that depicts this moment in time. From my first encounter with Tyrese in Baby Boy to the performance in 1992, I had to be a part of this. And it’s only fitting that the film come out under Death Row Pictures as Death Row is synonymous with LA culture in the 90’s, ya dig? ”

Aside from Gibson, 1992 also stars Clé Bennett, Dylan Arnold, Christopher A’mmanuel, Michael Beasley, Ori Pfeffer, Tosin Morohunfola and Oleg Taktarov, with Scott Eastwood and Ray Liotta (in one of his final film roles).

“Snoop is one of the most beloved figures in entertainment and I could not be more thankful that he chose to join our project,” Gibson added “Ray Liotta blessed all of us in life while doing this film. For 1992 to be Ray’s last offering, we all feel so fortunate to have captured such a masterful and chilling performance.”

Ariel Vromen directs from a script he co-wrote with Power Book III: Raising Kanan showrunner Sacha Penn.

Penn and Vromen produce the film alongside Andreas Rommel, Maurice Fadida and Adam Kolbrenner.

“I’m grateful to have had a front row seat to the infectious enthusiasm and talent Tyrese has brought to the many projects we’ve worked on together over the years,” said Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “And my immense admiration of the cultural icon that is Snoop Dogg has lasted 30 years and counting. So it’s a special thrill that he has come on board to executive produce 1992. He clearly has found a personal connection to the material, which makes his team at Death Row Pictures the perfect partners.”

1992 will premiere in theaters on Aug. 30.
