Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in a leading movie role for the first trailer to Lionsgate film's upcoming action extravaganza, "The Last Stand."

Alongside Arnie is a cast that includes Zach Gilford, Forest Whitaker, Luis Guzman, Rodrigo Santoro, Johnny Knoxville, Genesis Rodriguez, Jaimie Alexander, Eduardo Noriega, Peter Stormare and Harry Dean Stanton.

Watch the teaser trailer for "The Last Stand" below;



"The Last Stand" is released across the US from January 18th, 2013 and the UK from January 25th, 2013.

Schwarzenegger stars as Sheriff Owens, a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled. After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for one of the most daring face offs in cinema history.
