The 2024 action adventure Starbright will be released on Blu-ray Disc (plus soundtrack CD) July 14 from MVD Entertainment Group and Ruby Max Entertainment. In the film, on a weathered farm at the edge of a fading town, Aisling (Alexandra Dowling, Emily, The Musketeers) shoulders grief far too heavy for her young frame. The days move slow, the nights slower, and the silence of loss presses in on every corner of her world. Then, under the shadow of an eclipse, the sky splits open and a star falls to earth. From its glow steps Raphael (John Rhys-Davies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy) — not quite angel, not quite man — who places the living star into a locket at Aisling’s heart and entrusts her with its keeping. But Aisling is not alone in this night. Beside her stands Joshua (Diego Boneta, Terminator: Dark Fate, “Luis Miguel: The Series”), a young man bound to the ruins of a once-grand chateau across the water, a house haunted by debts, memory, and the expectations of a powerful father. Joshua knows loss as she does; his dreams, like hers, have been dimmed by sorrow and circumstance. With Raphael’s strange guidance, Aisling and Joshua are swept into a single, unbroken night of wonder and peril. The living star can turn lead to gold, despair to hope — and word of its power has drawn dangerous men from the shadows: thieves, debt-collectors, and a ruthless figure who will burn the town to claim it. Through empty fields, crumbling halls, and moonlit roads, the young pair flee and fight to protect a light that was never meant for greedy hands.
