AFTER THEIR adoptive mother is murdered during a grocery store holdup, the Mercer brothers -- hotheaded Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), ladies? man Angel (Tyrese Gibson), family man and businessman Jeremiah (André Benjamin), and hard rocking Jack (Garrett Hedlund) -- reunite to take the matter of her death into their own hands. As they track down her killer, they quickly realize that their old ways of doing business have new consequences. In this character-driven action-drama from acclaimed director John Singleton, four brothers come together to discover that they are bound by ties thicker than blood.

Screenplay for Four Brothers, which also stars Terrence Dashon Howard and Taraji P, was written by David Elliot and Paul Lovett.
