Clint Eastwood's crime-based movie The Mule will release on December 14.

Along with direction, Eastwood will also feature in the film. He plays  Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. After being assigned a menacing handler, Stone also attracts attention from DEA agent Colin Bates.

The other cast includes Bradley Cooper, Dianne Wiest, and Michael Pena. The Mule will clash with Universal's sci-fi fantasy Mortal Engines, STX's Jennifer Lopez rom-com Second Act and Sony's animated adventure Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse at the box office.
