Finding himself down and out in Los Angeles, ex porn star Mikey Saber (Simon Rex) decides to crawl back to his hometown of Texas City, Texas, where his estranged wife and mother-in-law are living.
Just as this dysfunctional family seems to be making things work, Mikey meets a young woman named Strawberry (Suzanna Son) working the cash register at a local doughnut shop and falls right back into his old habits.
‘Red Rocket’ is a darkly funny and humane portrait of a uniquely American hustler and a hometown that barely tolerates him. Funny, raw, kinky, and packed with a rousing, hilarious performance by Simon Rex.
