The actors describe the MMA fighter as a gentleman on set, eager to learn the craft of acting. See what else the movie stars had to say.
ROAD HOUSE is a remake of the 1989 action movie starring Patrick Swayze. The setting and characters are new except for the Dalton character name, played here by Jake Gyllenhaal. The 2024 Dalton is a former UFC fighter living as a nomad until he's offered a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse. The rest of the story beats are similar to the original. A businessman (Magnussen) resorts to violence to destroy a joint called the Road House to make way for a resort development.
ROAD HOUSE stars Gyllenhaal, Daniela Melchior (THE SUICIDE SQUAD), Billy Magnussen (NO TIME TO DIE), Lukas Gage (The White Lotus, Euphoria), Arturo Castro, JD Pardo (Mayans M.C.) and in his feature film debut, Conor McGregor.
