Hell-bent on justice, retired U.S. Judge Randall Nemes (Nick Nolte) and his hired gun, Gaspar (Luis Guzmán), track down a small-time con man (Tim Roth) posing as a priest in a small Colombian town only to be thrown off-course by a scrappy 16-year-old local girl intent on reuniting with her little sister in the U.S.

Directed by Jonathan Sobol, THE PADRE was written by Stephen Kunc, produced by Nicholas Tabarrok and executive produced by Alan Moloney, Jeff Sackman, and Berry Meyerowitz.
