Border Hunters

After his police officer brother is killed by a drug dealer who slips away to seek refuge with a cartel connected uncle in Mexico, a former American lawman with a varied background in police work and special operations heads south to hunt the killer. Border Hunters follows a high intensity pursuit that leaps from sunlit border towns to shadowy safe houses, testing the hunter’s discipline, improvisation, and moral code. The chase is personal, but it’s also a clash of systems as a cross border landscape becomes a proving ground for tactics, loyalties, and the cost of vengeance. The film keeps the focus on character under pressure while delivering brisk, action heavy sequences without revealing plot twists or endings.

Directed by Ruben Islas Border Hunters arrived in 2025 as a lean kinetic action thriller. Creator Pedro Fernandez is credited with the cross-border concept, and the cast stars Dean Norris, Julio Macias, Danforth Comins, Ramon Medina, and Pia Sanz.
