"The Assault" U.S. Theatrical Poster

Over at Beyond Hollywood, you can scope out the U.S. trailer for The Assault, the tense French hostage drama from Chrysalis director Julien Leclercq. Looks pretty bad-ass, doesn’t it? Rest assured that American audiences will have the chance to see the movie as Screen Media Films is offering The Assault a limited release stateside on April 6, 2012.

The film is based on true events: on Christmas Eve, 1994, armed terrorists hijacked a passenger plane and threatened all of Paris. The Assault follows France’s elite counter-terrorism unit as they plan and execute their daring rescue mission.
