Halsey and Sydney Sweeney star in the first trailer for Americana, a neo-Western directed by Tony Tost that features an ensemble cast, including Paul Walter Hauser, Simon Rex, Eric Dane and Zahn McClarnon. The film is set in a South Dakota town as everyone gets embroiled in a plot to steal a prized Lakota “ghost shirt.”

The movie synopsis reads that “a highly prized Native American artifact leads a gallery of dynamic characters down a dangerous path in this wildly entertaining modern-day Western. After the rare relic falls onto the black market, the lives of a small-town woman and her son become violently intertwined with a quirky local diner waitress, an offbeat military veteran and a corrupt antiquities dealer. Crime and chaos follow when an indigenous group leader and his crew join the fray in order to reclaim the artifact and return it to its rightful place.”
