Prime Video unleashed a new Samaritan clip on Monday showing Sylvester Stallone‘s Joe cleaning up the streets of Granite City. Stallone is no stranger to action films with heart and feels at home in a city plagued by criminals, low lives, and those looking to punish the less fortunate. Thankfully, Joe’s coming out of retirement when the metropolis needs him the most. Please don’t call it a comeback. It’s a homecoming.

In the new Samaritan clip, Joe gets attacked in an alleyway by a knife-wielding individual. Annoyed at the thought of being stabbed, Joe hurls the man through a wall and into a nearby car. A little girl is standing nearby and witnesses everything. After she grills Joe with questions, another lawbreaker pulls the pin out of a grenade and tosses it at Joe’s feet. Joe picks up the girl and uses a car to shield her from the blast. Onlookers have their phones out and take a video of Joe’s heroic act. There’s no doubt about it, folks. The Samaritan never left Granite City.

Julius Avery directs Samaritan from a screenplay written by Bragi F. Schut. Stallone and Braden Aftergood produce, with Schut, David Kern, Adam Rosenberg, and Guy Riedel executive producing.

Here’s the official synopsis for Samaritan:

Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone), is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty-five years ago, Granite City’s super-powered vigilante, Samaritan, was reported dead after a fiery warehouse battle with his rival, Nemesis. Most believe Samaritan perished in the fire, but some in the city, like Sam, have hope that he is still alive. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to coax his neighbor out of hiding to save the city from ruin.

Samaritan stars Sylvester Stallone, Javon “Wanna” Walton, Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moises Arias. The gritty superhero thriller is smashing its way onto Prime Video on Friday, August 26. What do you think of the new Samaritan clip? Let us know in the comments.
