SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Recently widowed after a road rage incident killed his wife, Scott Brennan (played by the elder Jane) is still trying to mend his relationship with his daughter Jane (played by Harlow), who was left deaf due to that same incident. In the midst of that healing process, Scott brings Jane along when he takes a high-paying demolition job in the dry desert of Las Cruces, which kicks off the events of Dig. But things take a turn when he and Jane are taken hostage by a dangerous couple, played by Emile Hirsch (Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans) and Liana Liberato (Light as a Feather).
Screen Rant's exclusive clip from Dig begins after father and daughter have become captives. When a new visitor arrives on site, it is Scott's duty to ward him off from entering the house before he becomes the next victim. Unfortunately, their new friend has a job to do and does not wish to be deterred. Watch the full clip below:
The tension builds throughout the scene, juxtaposing Scott's desire to alert others to the danger he and Jane are in with his need to prevent strangers from being hurt due to his own carelessness. The scene ends with a quiet standoff that is sure to leave audiences wondering how the family with manage to emerge unscathed, whether the villains will get their deserved comeuppance, and what riches worth killing for actually lie underneath the property.
