A rebellious recruit clashes with authority inside a Vietnam-era boot camp, exposing fear, brutality and the cost of survival.
Before Vietnam, the war begins in training. TIGERLAND follows a group of young recruits through a brutal Louisiana boot camp, where fear, obedience and violence are drilled into them before combat. At the centre is Bozz, a defiant soldier whose refusal to conform makes him both dangerous and necessary. Joel Schumacher delivers a raw, tense drama about authority, survival and conscience.
Rialto Recommends TIGERLAND is Joel Schumacher stripped back and firing on all cylinders: raw, restless and morally charged. Set before the battlefield, the film turns boot camp into its own war zone, where obedience is enforced and conscience becomes dangerous. With Colin Farrell magnetic as the defiant Bozz, this is a tough, tense drama about the cost of becoming a soldier before a shot is fired.
