'Disturbing the Peace' is a 2020 neo-western action thriller film directed by York Alec Shackleton and starring Guy Pearce.

Plot



Long ago, Texas Ranger Jim Dillon accidentally wounded his partner during a hostage situation. Ever since the incident, Jim has elected to keep the peace in the small town of Horse Cave without a gun, joined by Deputy Matt. Learning of his former partner's death, Jim has fallen into a depression, eased back into the light by Catie, a caf server and part-time preacher who has a crush on the lawman. Settling in for an average day, Jim's plans are ruined by the arrival of Diablo, the head of a motorcycle gang looking to rob the Horse Cave bank and empty an armored truck due to arrive in town. When Diablo takes control of the town, prepping his big move to grab the loot and escape, Jim is left with his wits and a desire to bring the invader to justice, trying to play an extended game of hide and seek with the burly villain, who isn't afraid to kill civilians.
