Actor TYE SHERIDAN stars in ASPHALT CITY, directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire.

In this interview, Sheridan talks about playing a paramedic in the film, about working alongside Sean Penn and about his role as a producer in the movie.

ASPHALT CITY follows Ollie Cross (Tye Sheridan), a young paramedic assigned to the NYC night shift with an uncompromising and seasoned partner Gene Rutkovsky (Sean Penn).

The dark nights reveal a city in crisis; Rutkovsky guides Cross, as each 911 call is often dangerous and uncertain, putting their lives on the line every day to help others.

Cross soon discovers firsthand the chaos and awe of a job that careens from harrowing to heartfelt, testing his relationship with Rutkovsky and the ethical ambiguity that can be the difference between life and death.

Sean Penn, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Michael Carmen Pitt, Katherine Waterston, Mike Tyson, Raquel Nave and Kali Reis also star in the movie.

ASPHALT CITY, in theaters on March 29th, 2024.
