We see Egerton playing a desperate ex-convict father, Nate, on the run for his life, and he needs to bring his estranged adolescent daughter, Polly, played by Ana Sophia Heger, along for the ride to make sure to protect her from those looking to kill the pair.
An official synopsis for “She Rides Shotgun” courtesy of Lionsgate:
Where can you run when there’s nowhere to hide? Taron Egerton stars as newly released ex-con Nate in this gritty, explosive action-thriller. Marked for death by unrelenting enemies, Nate must now protect his estranged 11-year-old daughter, Polly (Ana Sophia Heger) at all costs. Shy, precocious, and wary of her father, Polly is swept up in Nate’s dangerous plight as they flee to evade the corrupt sheriff and brutal leader of a gang who will stop at nothing to protect his criminal interests. With scant resources and no one to trust, Nate and Polly form a bond forged under fire as he shows her how to fight and survive — and she teaches him what unconditional love truly means in this intense, moving story about loyalty, strength, and redemption.
