Coming back from the dead leaves a mark in Lazarus, a 2021 American action science-fiction film in which a murdered man returns with abilities no one, including himself, fully understands.
What is Lazarus about?
The man at the center of Lazarus is killed, then revived, and the revival changes him in ways that put him on a collision course with the very crime ring responsible for his death. Rather than walking away from what happened to him, he turns his new capabilities toward the people who wronged him and the city they operate in, becoming something closer to a weapon than the man he was before. Lazarus spends its 105 minutes tracking that shift, following him from victim to threat as he closes in on the organization that thought it had ended him for good. The stakes widen from personal revenge to the safety of the city itself as the crime ring pushes back against a target it can no longer predict or control.
About the cast
Sean Riggs leads a cast that includes Costas Mandylor, Shane Brolly, Nicki Micheaux, Noel Gugliemi, Linc Hand, Mýa, and Adamo Palladino, an ensemble spanning both the crime ring and the allies drawn into the fallout of one man's return.
Context & significance
Directed by R.L. Scott, Lazarus is a 2021 US production that blends crime-thriller structure with a science-fiction premise centered on resurrection and altered ability. At 105 minutes, it has room to build out both the criminal organization the story revolves around and the transformation of its lead, rather than rushing straight to confrontation. The combination places it alongside other genre entries that use a supernatural or scientific reset as the engine for a revenge plot grounded in city-level crime.
