Scarlett Johansson, Miles Teller and Adam Driver Star in 1980’s Mob Drama ‘Paper Tiger’

NEON is bringing Paper Tiger, the highly anticipated 1980s crime drama movie from acclaimed director James Gray (Armageddon Time, Ad Astra) to theaters Friday November 13, 2026.

Photographed on gorgeous 35mm film, the movie treats audiences to a tense, moody look at a family caught in the crosshairs of the criminal underworld.

Set in 1986, Paper Tiger follows family man Irwin Pearl (Miles Teller) and his ex-cop brother Gary (Adam Driver) as they embark on a business venture cleaning up the polluted Gowanus Canal.

Chasing financial security, their ambitions take a dark turn when a dangerous run-in entangles them with the local Russian mafia.

As the brothers plunge deeper into the criminal underbelly of New York, their family bonds begin to fray under lethal threats, forcing Irwin’s wife, Christine (Scarlett Johansson), to navigate a high-stakes turf war to keep them alive.

Paper Tiger is rated R, is 1 hr 55min long and premieres in select theaters November 13, 2026 before it’s nationwide release a week later November 20, 2026.
