In the 1870s, Danish settlers travelled to the US following a brutal war with Germany. One of these people was Jon (Mads Mikkelsen), who travels to America to start a new life with his family. But, having travelled from the frying pan to the fire, Jon's world is ready to be rocked to its very core. When his family is murdered, Jon puts his military training to use, and hunts down and deals out western justice to his families killers. The problem is, one of the men his kills was the brother of a feared outlaw, who proceeds to terrorise a local town as revenge. Jon will be called upon to end the feud he started - but with nothing left, why should he?
'The Salvation' comes from writer/director Kristian Levring ('Fear Me Not', 'The Intended') who co-wrote the script with Anders Thomas Jensen ('The Duchess', 'In a Better World').

The film was first released at the Cannes Film Festival on 17th May 2014, before premiering in Denmark on 22nd May 2014. From there, the film opened in countries across Europe throughout 2014, and is set to open theatrically in the UK on 17th April 2015.
