Project Summary
The Butler is a period action-thriller that’s equal parts ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘Die Hard. The film centers on a retired World War I commando who has traded a life of violence for the serene routine of a family butler. When mobsters arrive to collect on an unpaid debt, his tranquil world is torn apart, forcing him to confront his past in a pulse-pounding showdown.
