Changing Lanes | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Two cars collide on the FDR expressway. Their drivers--two seemingly opposite men--are Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck), a young white partner in a powerful law firm, and Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson), a meek working class black man. At the scene of this fender bender Gavin, who is busy trying to make a business appointment on his cell phone, offers Doyle a blank check to cover damages. Doyle, wanting to properly exchange information, declines, causing Gavin to flee the accident site. In his haste, Gavin leaves behind an important legal file which Doyle uses to his advantage, setting off a brutal cycle of revenge between these two men who began this Good Friday as strangers.

Synopsis: Smoldering thriller about two New York men whose lives become intertwined after a Good Friday fender bender and the accidental swapping of some important files. A war of words follows, and then a cat-and-mouse game that could get one or both of them killed.
