Max played an important role as a working dog in the US military, but he is sent back from his service in Afghanistan following the traumatic loss of his beloved friend and handler, Kyle Wincott. He is brought into the care of the soldier's grieving family, but, frightened by the unfamiliar surroundings and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after his master's terrifying death in an explosion, Max proves to be difficult to integrate into regular society. However, it soon becomes clear that he wants to be loved again, and forms a heart-warming bond with his former owner's younger brother Justin as they each do their best to heal each other's broken hearts - and that means embarking on some rollicking adventures.

This moving family drama explores the importance of love and companionship in the face of grief. Directed by Boaz Yakin ('Safe', 'Remember the Titans', 'Uptown Girls'), who co-wrote the screenplay alongside Sheldon Lettich ('Legionnaire', 'Rambo III', 'Bloodsport'), 'Max' is a film about the special friendship between man and beast, loosely based on a true story, and is set to warm the hearts of every dog lover who will ever see it. It is scheduled to be released in US movie theaters on June 26th 2015.
