Tag

Five lifelong friends turn a simple game into a month long ritual of tag, chasing each other through cities, offices, and backyards since grade school. This year the chase centers on the one rival who has never been tagged, and his wedding provides the perfect moment for a final round. The ensemble hones in on him with stealth, disguises, and ridiculous stunts, testing their loyalty and nerves. Yet the man at the center seems prepared, knowing their schemes and calculating every move. They rely on years of shared history to anticipate moves but still fall into slapstick traps. The result is a high energy caper built on old grudges, big laughs, and the relentlessness of friendship. And chaos ensues briefly.

Directed by Jeff Tomsic, Tag hit theaters in 2018, drawing on a true life tag story adapted by Mark Steilen and Rob McKittrick. The film blends physical comedy with sharp dialogue and crowd pleasing stunts. The cast sells every moment.
