"Rebel Ridge" is a 2024 American action thriller film written, produced, directed, and edited by "Blue Ruin" and "Green Room" filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier. The film stars Aaron Pierre as Terry Richmond, a former Marine, who has the funds needed to post bail for his cousin, unjustly seized via civil forfeiture by a small town's corrupt police force. Netflix released the film to positive critical reviews, and it won Best Movie Made for Television at the 30th Critics' Choice Awards.
