Apple TV+ has released an official trailer for The Greatest Beer Run Ever, Peter Farrelly’s forthcoming war comedy-drama based on the real-life experience of Chick Donohue. The film will have its world premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, followed by a limited theatrical release and streaming debut on September 20.
Zac Efron portrays Chick, who goes on an impossible journey to deliver beers to his childhood best friends who are currently serving in Vietnam in an attempt to give them the hope they need.
The Greatest Beer Run Ever is directed by Peter Farrelly from a screenplay he co-wrote with with Green Book co-scribes Brian Currie and Pete Jones, based on 2020 memoir by Joanna Molloy and John “Chick” Donohue. The film stars Zac Efron, Russell Crowe, Will Roppe, Archie Renaux, Kyle Allen, and Jake Picking.
The movie is based on the true tale of Donohue, who left New York in 1967 to track down and share a few beers with his childhood buddies in the Army … while they were fighting in Vietnam.
The film adaptation is a production by Skydance Media for Apple TV+. It is be produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger along with Andrew Muscato.
