THE PREMISE
When Tommy (Mason Thames) receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve, he doesn’t realize it’s an elaborate prank by his older brother, Wayne (Keen Ruffalo). Desperate to believe his life is about to change, Tommy steals Wayne’s car. Next, he begins driving his band from Kansas City to Los Angeles. He is hell-bent on getting there in three days. What follows is a rowdy and uproarious road trip across America. It is inspired by Green Day’s early touring days in a van, years before the release of their breakout record, Dookie.
Featuring Green Day themselves, NIMRODS’ star-studded cast includes Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Keen Ruffalo, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, Sean Gunn, and McKenna Grace.
Written and directed by Lee Kirk, additional credits include producers Tim Perell for Process, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool. Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino for Live Nation Studios and Jonathan Daniel are executive producers.
