Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey are starring in the new adventure film, “Mud.” The film tells the story of two boys who find a man hiding from bounty hunters while working towards getting back to the girl of his dreams:

“Mud is an adventure about two boys, Ellis and his friend Neckbone, who find a man named Mud hiding out on an island in the Mississippi. Mud describes fantastic scenarios-he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him. He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper, who is waiting for him in town. Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him. It isn’t long until Mud’s visions come true and their small town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow.”

The Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions film also stars Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, Sam Shepard and Michael Shannon. “Mud,” directed by Jeff Nichols, will be out April 26, 2013.
