Sony opens Ghost Soldier, a PG-13 action thriller with Jim Caviezel, in theaters on Veterans Day

Sony Pictures’ action thriller Ghost Soldier, starring Jim Caviezel, opens on Wednesday, November 11. The studio’s page for the film reads “Exclusively in Movie Theatres November 11 Veterans Day,” and it gives no date for streaming or a digital release. November 11 falls on a Wednesday this year, so the film opens two days before the weekend’s Friday releases.

The story

In Sony’s synopsis, Caviezel plays Henry “Fitz” Fitzgerald, who keeps to himself and lives off the grid in the town where he grew up, with what Sony calls a mysterious past. When a foreign corporation moves in to take his land and his neighbors’ for a large profit, it emerges that Fitz once served in the Special Forces and developed advanced weapons, and he takes the company on by himself, with weaponry nobody has seen before.

Who made it

William Eubank directed the film from a screenplay by Chris Papasadero. David Zelon and William Sherak are the producers, and the executive producers are Jim Caviezel, Joseph Micucci, Paul Neinstein and James Vanderbilt. Olivia Thirlby, Beau Knapp and Garret Dillahunt join Caviezel in the cast, with Shea Whigham, according to Sony’s credits.

Rating

The film rating board rated Ghost Soldier PG-13 for “strong violence, some bloody images, and language.” Its record, issued in 2026, names Columbia Pictures as the company, and lists Archangel as an alternate title. Sony’s own page gives no runtime. The same search also turns up The Great Raid, a Miramax Films release rated R in 2004 for strong war violence and brief language, whose record lists Ghost Soldiers as an alternate title. That is a separate, older film from another studio.

Where it fits in November

Ghost Soldier is the only upcoming theatrical release in the Featured and Coming Soon list on Sony’s film site. The same list shows three other Sony titles playing in theaters: The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, which went nationwide on October 30, Klara and the Sun and The Social Reckoning.

The film gets two days on its own before the weekend’s openings. Paramount lists Ebenezer for Friday, November 13, and NEON lists Paper Tiger for the same day. Ghost Soldier is not in our guide to November’s theatrical releases, which was compiled from studio pages on October 28; the details here come from Sony’s page as it read on November 11. Later in the month, Focus Features lists Elsinore in select theaters from November 20, and NEON lists All of a Sudden for November 25.
