Netflix has released a trailer for Sundance 2017 selection Deidra & Laney Rob a Train, in which Deidra and Laney rob a train – or, several trains. In the lighthearted heist film, teen sisters (Ashleigh Murray and Rachel Crow) resort to thievery to make ends meet after their mom is thrown in jail.
Deidra & Laney Rob a Train is directed by Sydney Freeland and also stars Tim Blake Nelson. After playing Park City, the film will hit Netflix on March 17th, 2017.
Life is moving fast for whip-smart high school senior Deidra (Ashleigh Murray) and her younger sister Laney (Rachel Crow). Graduation looms, their part-time dad is a full-time schemer, and adolescent embarrassments arrive daily — just like the train that rambles noisily through their backyard. But things take a turn for the worse when their mother Marigold (Danielle Nicolet) is thrown in jail for a minor offense after succumbing to the pressure of single parenting. To help her struggling family, Deidra hatches a plan to start robbing trains. Things go off without a hitch, until a railroad detective (Tim Blake Nelson) starts sniffing around.
