The film follows two corrupt cops in New Mexico who blackmail and frame every criminal crosses their path, but matters take a different turn when they come up against someone who is possibly more dangerous than them. The cast includes Michael Peña, Alexander Skarsgård, Theo James, Tessa Thompson, Caleb Landry Jones and Paul Reiser.

McDonagh said, “It gives me great pleasure to declare War on Everyone with my fellow combatants, Michael Peña and Alexander Skarsgård. We look forward to the battles ahead, and we will go on with a spirit that fears nothing. That’s Homer, by the way.”
