Lionsgate unveiled Monday the trailer for two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank's "Ordinary Angels" has been unveiled.
The movie is based on a true story of real-life heroism that saw a hairdresser rally a community together to save a dying child by clearing a path to reach her flight during the historic 1994 North American cold wave.
Swank stars as Sharon, the hairdresser who finds a purpose in life by aiding a widower (Alan Ritchson) and his two daughters in their darkest hour.
In the trailer, Sharon gets the idea to help the struggling family after seeing their plight in the newspaper. They're as wholesome as it gets with Ritchson playing the patriarch Ed who does his best to take care of his daughters while saying goodbye to his wife.
However, it is not easy as hospital bills crush Ed who just doesn't make enough money to stay out of the red. On top of that, his youngest daughter Michelle (Emily Mitchell) is critically ill and waiting for a kidney transplant. The family's a bit of a mess, and so is Sharon who shows up with cash in hand and a plan.
She lights up their life and pulls every string she can to help them, even schmoozing higher-ups to get their medical bills reduced. The hits just keep coming for Ed, however, when Michelle's condition takes a turn for the worst and the only way to save her is to transfer her via plane to a children's hospital.
The cast also stars Nancy Travis, Tamala Jones, Amy Acker, Drew Powell, and Skywalker Hughes.
Jon Gunn directed the pic from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jon Erwin, Meg Tilly, and Kelly Fremon Craig.
"Ordinary Angels" premieres in theaters on October 13.
