The thriller takes a nostalgic turn in “Cop Car,” starring Kevin Bacon. The film, which will come to theaters August 2015, is directed by Jon Watts, written by Watts and Christopher D. Ford and also stars Shea Whigham, Camryn Manheim, James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Welford.

The film follows two boys who have come across a cop car. The discovery leads to a wild ride, to say the least. Here’s more about the film.

“Kevin Bacon (The Following, HBO’s Taking Chance, Mystic River) stars in director Jon Watts’ delightful throwback thriller Cop Car. When two good-natured but rebellious young boys (James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Wellford) stumble across an abandoned cop car hidden in a secluded glade they decide to take it for a quick joyride. Their bad decision unleashes the ire of the county sheriff (Kevin Bacon) and leads to brutal consequences.”
