After a series of plagues and wars leaves society in ruins, the Freemans are surviving -- even thriving -- on a farm in the middle of nowhere... so long as they repel the occasional raiding party.
Former soldier Hailey and her partner Galen fled the collapse along with their children, training them to fight (and, yes, kill).
But now Hailey's eldest Emanuel is a young man, and when he meets a young woman in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy.

Reviews
- "In Deadwyler’s eyes, we see many lifetimes of pain and struggle that have hardened into a shell Hailey rarely lets down. While 40 ACRES can be shaky in its dialogue and staging, it’s her performance that keeps it moving."
- TheWrap - "R.T. Thorne presents a gripping first feature that places Black and Indigenous characters at its center to bring a greater historical context to a story, begging the question of what we would do to protect the ones we love."
- Next Best Picture - "The film has some heartfelt moments and themes, and while dark and violent, it is, in the end, an uplifting story about family, legacy, and hope."
- Screen Rant - "Though R.T. Thorne’s dynamic siege thriller has some familiar moves, it is full of fresh ideas."
