New Delhi [India], May 23 : The first look of '57 Seconds' starring Morgan Freeman and Josh Hutcherson is out. Directed by Rusty Cundieff, the film is a thriller set in the world of tech and big pharma based on the acclaimed story by British author E.C. Tubbs.

Driven by revenge and with Burrell's support, Franklin uses the ring to dismantle the pharmaceutical company responsible for his sister's death. But he soon gets entangled in a treacherous and brutal chain of events with much more than his own destiny at stake, as per Variety.
