Short description

The Instigators follows Rory, a father at the end of his rope, and Cobby, a former convict, who are brought together for a robbery. When the job falls apart, the two become fugitives, joined by an unexpected third party: Rory's therapist. Together they try to stay ahead of the police, corrupt officials and a crime boss seeking payback.

Doug Liman directed the film, the thirteenth of the fourteen features he has directed in chronological order, coming after Road House and before Asteroid. The screenplay is by Chuck MacLean, Casey Affleck and Jeff Robinov, and the producers include Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jeff Robinov. Matt Damon plays Rory, Casey Affleck plays Cobby, and the cast also includes Ving Rhames, Jack Harlow, Michael Stuhlbarg and Alfred Molina. The film runs 102 minutes and was made by Apple Studios, Studio 8, Artists Equity and The Walsh Company.

Released in August 2024, the film received a critics' rating of 5.4 out of 10 from 157 reviews, below its audience scores: 6.2 out of 10 on IMDb from 43,000 votes and 6.1 out of 10 on TMDB from 692 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During the robbery, Cobby (played by Casey Affleck) calls Rory (played by Matt Damon) Mr. Longbaugh. Longbaugh was the surname of a famous outlaw known as the Sundance Kid.
  • The original saloon door was taken back to Hollywood in case something needed to be reshot. Then the door was reinstalled in its place.
