A fender-bending film feast starring Samuel L.Jackson and Daredevil himself - Ben Affleck. Not one for the nervous passenger or driver this road-rage flick...

Changing Lanes

A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City’s crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn’t set off a chain reaction that could decimate two people’s lives.

But, in Changing Lanes - on this day, at this time - a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying one another might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same: Each will systematically try to dismantle the other’s life in a reckless effort to reclaim something he has lost.

Late for court, high-powered attorney Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck) is weaving through heavy traffic. In a different lane, is Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson), a father, whose right to see his children rests on the decision of a judge with a full docket and no time to spare.

On the surface, Banek and Gipson are two very different men: One is struggling to reach the top of his career; the other is desperately scrambling away from rock bottom. But a minor accident will drive these two strangers to the brink of self-destruction, and prove that rage can equalize any playing field when men turn into beasts.

Aside from principle actors Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck, the film also features the talents of: Kim Staunton' Toni Collette, Sydney Pollack, Amanda Peet, Bruce Altman, Matt Malloy, William Hurt, Joe Grifasi and Dylan Baker.

  • Audio commentary from director Roger Michell
