When DEA agents Ray and Andre embark on a drug bust in Texas, the cartel is one step ahead of them. The raid goes south, leaving an agent dead. Ray’s son, who’s best friends with the slain agent’s son, takes matters into his own hands. His plan? Recruit his friends to rob the cartel’s trap houses, so that the agent’s grieving family has money to survive. And it works — at first — until the DEA takes notice, perceiving the teens as a rival criminal organization. Now the agency’s mission is to knock out this new crew and make an example out of them. Will Ray be able to save his son from danger before it’s too late?
Directed by Michael Dowse (Coffee & Kareem) and co-written by Gary Scott Thompson (The Fast and the Furious) and Tom O’Connor (The Hitman’s Bodyguard), Trap House stars Dave Bautista, Bobby Cannavale, and Kate del Castillo alongside Jack Champion, Sophia Lillis, Zaire Adams, and Whitney Peak.
When a team of DEA agents, including Ray (Bautista) and his partner, Andre (Cannavale), raid a gas station in El Paso, Texas, that’s hiding a drug smuggling tunnel, they don’t expect sharpshooters to be there waiting for them. The raid goes wrong, and one of Ray and Andre’s fellow agents, Manny (Angel Vasquez), is killed in the crossfire. Meanwhile, the cartel’s second-in-command, Natalia (del Castillo), has sworn to find and destroy the agents and their families.
Unfortunately for the DEA, its face-off with the cartel is about to get much more complicated. Ray’s teen son, Cody (Champion), is enraged to find out that his best friend, and Manny’s son, won’t get any compensation for his father’s death. So Cody rallies his closest friends — also the children of DEA agents — to support Jesse and his family in a way the agency won’t: They’re targeting all the trap houses to rob them blind. Soon they’re swimming in cash. But when the DEA agents get word of these cash seizures, they don’t know the culprits are their own children; they think it’s a rival gang. Now the newly minted teen crooks are in for a deadly game of cat and mouse — with both the agency and the cartel.
