Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures present, a Sunswept Entertainment production, a Boaz Yakin movie, "Max". The film opens nationwide on June 26, 2015, and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
Max has been rated PG by the MPAA for action, violence, peril, brief language and some thematic elements.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures comes "Max", a family action adventure from writer/director Boaz Yakin ("Remember the Titans", "Now You See Me").
A precision-trained military dog, Max serves on the frontlines in Afghanistan alongside his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott. But when things go terribly wrong on maneuvers, Kyle is mortally wounded and Max, traumatized by the loss of his best friend, is unable to remain in service.
Shipped stateside, the only human he seems willing to connect with is Kyle's teenage brother, Justin, so Max is adopted by Kyle's family, essentially saving his life. But Justin has issues of his own, such as living up to his father's expectations for him; he isn't interested in taking responsibility for his brother's troubled dog. However, Max may be Justin's only chance to discover what really happened to his brother that day on the front, and with the help of a tough-talking young teen, Carmen, who has a way with dogs, Justin begins to appreciate his canine companion.
Justin's growing trust in Max helps the four-legged veteran revert back to his heroic self, and as the pair race against time to unravel the mystery, they find more excitement-and danger-than they bargained for. But they each might also find an unlikely new best friend...in each other.
"Max" stars Josh Wiggins ("Hellion") as Justin Wincott, Lauren Graham ("Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", TV's "Parenthood") as his mom, Pamela, and Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church ("Sideways") as his dad, Ray.

One of the underlying themes of the film is PTSD and June happens to be PTSD Awareness Month.

Great post! This is a movie I'm so excited to see. So many different aspects - the MWD, the dog/soldier partnership, the new relationship with the brother, building trust, as well as the important awareness to PTSD. Our post went up this morning and we eagerly await for the arrival of June 26 and #MaxMovie!
