Paramount Pictures has acquired U.S. rights to “By Any Means,” a civil rights era-set crime thriller from director Elegance Bratton, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg.

The studio has dated the film for theatrical release on Sept. 4.

Set against the backdrop of 1966 Mississippi and loosely based on true events, the film’s logline explains, “By Any Means” follows “a volatile partnership between a hardened mafia hitman and a young Black FBI agent as they are forced into an uneasy alliance to track down those responsible for the killing of civil rights leaders — uncovering a conspiracy that tests the limits of justice, loyalty, and survival.”
