‘1992’ follows two father-son pairs against the backdrop of the year’s
Rodney King riots. One father, Mercer, has just been released from prison and given
custody of his teenage son Antoine. The other, Lowell, has spent his life prepping
his son “Riggin Bigby” for a life of crime — staging a plan to steal catalytic
converters from the factory where Mercer works. As the heist falls into place, the
characters’s lives are brought together as Mercer tries to keep his son from
following in his footsteps and Lowell tries to influence his son to do the
opposite.
‘1992’ stars Ray Liotta as Lowell, Tyrese Gibson as Mercer, Scott Eastwood as Riggin
Bigby and Christopher Ammanuel as Antoine. The film hit theaters Aug. 30.
