57 Seconds

57 Seconds centers on Franklin Fox, a keen tech blogger who scores an interview with a reclusive industry magnate whose public persona hides a web of secrets. When Fox helps avert an ominous attack during the visit, a strange metal ring appears and grants him a chance to revisit moments from the recent past. Each use rewinds time by 57 seconds, letting Fox observe small actions from a new angle and influence outcomes without obvious magic, almost like a glitch in reality. But the seemingly simple trick quickly pulls him into a high stakes game of corporate espionage, shifting loyalties and personal risk. Every reset alters relationships and tests his judgment under mounting pressure, creating a tight corridor of consequence.

Released in 2023, the film is directed by Rusty Cundieff and built around concepts credited to E.C. Tubb and Macon Blair, presenting a tense setup that leans on smart tech ideas rather than pure spectacle, anchored by Hutcherson and Freeman.
