A severely overlooked action movie is airing on TV tonight

Made by the people behind Back to the Future, 48 Hrs and The Warriors, this film needs more love.

The film tells the story of two firefighters (played by Bill Paxton and William Sadler) in Fort Smith, Arkansas, who venture into gang-controlled territory to find and steal gold that's been hidden inside an abandoned building.

When the pair witness a murder, however, they become the targets of a crime lord (Ice-T) and his underling (Ice Cube).

Trespass was well-liked by critics upon release, but was not a big hit at the box office.

Ice Cube and Ice-T in Trespass, our pick for tonight

This is a shame because it blends a great premise with dynamic filmmaking, resulting in a mean-and-lean action thriller.

The movie is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend Xtra at 9pm.

The film is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play and the Sky Store.
