Daniel Radcliffe in Beast Of Burden

Coming across a little like a more conflicted take on the drug-running madness of American Made, the trailer for Beast Of Burden finds Daniel Radcliffe as a pilot with a desperate choice to make. It's lurking below.

Radcliffe plays pilot Sean Haggerty, who must deliver cocaine across the US-Mexico border for his final run as a drug smuggler. Tough enough of a gig you might think, but there's all sorts of added pressure on him, besides the obvious criminal implications.

Alone in a small plane, he is faced with the burden of choosing between his allegiance to the Cartel, his deal with the Drug Enforcement Administration and saving his increasingly tense relationship with his wife, eagerly awaiting his return. Oh, and did we mention that she's critically ill and he has to turn narc to get the treatment that will save her life?

Expect more twists and turns from the film, which also stars Pablo Schreiber and Grace Gummer. US audiences will see this one on 23 February, but it doesn't appear to have a UK date yet.
