The delightful Tyler James Williams takes a break from comedy with the extremely suspenseful new film Amber Alert, and discusses it with MovieWeb’s Julian Roman. He also shares some behind the scenes details of the Emmy-winning series Abbott Elementary. Amber Alert is in theaters and on demand beginning Sep. 27, 2024, from Lionsgate.
In Amber Alert, an ordinary rideshare becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse when Jaq (Hayden Panettiere) and Shane (Tyler James Williams) receive an alert of a child abduction on their phones. Quickly realizing they are behind a car that matches the description of the kidnapper’s, Jaq and Shane desperately race against time to save the child’s life.
