In the official trailer for Americana, first-time director Tony Tost reimagines the American West with a modern edge. The film follows a stolen Lakota ghost shirt and the web of desperate souls who believe it can offer power, protection—or a shot at salvation.

Sydney Sweeney plays a haunted hairdresser entangled in an escalating scheme with a volatile veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) and a wounded rodeo queen (played by Halsey in a striking dramatic turn). Set against a backdrop of dusty plains, decaying diners, and fading patriotism, the film paints a vision of the West that’s less about manifest destiny and more about disillusionment and survival.

Rooted in contemporary anxieties but draped in Western iconography, Americana blends genre with arthouse attitude. It’s a raw, grimy, and genre-bending ride—where every character is chasing something just out of reach.
