Trespass tells the story of two Arkansas firefighters—Vince and Don, played by Bill Paxton and William Sadler—who discover a map that supposedly leads to a stash of stolen gold hidden in an abandoned building in East St. Louis.
Sounds like a simple grab-and-go job, right?
Wrong.
Turns out the building is deep in gang territory, and before long, they’re caught in a deadly showdown with a violent crew led by King James, played by Ice-T, and his right-hand man Savon, played by Ice Cube.
What follows is a tense, claustrophobic cat-and-mouse game of survival, greed, and betrayal—all playing out in the confined space of the crumbling building.
