The first poster for upcoming film The Last Stand, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been revealed.

Arnie takes the role of gun-toting Sheriff Ray Owens in what is sure to be an action packed film. The role also marks his first leading role in a film since 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

He won’t be alone, however, with the likes of Forest Whitaker, Johnny KnoxvillePeter StomareJaimie AlexanderLuis Guzman, and Eduardo Noriega in attendance.

The Last Stand hits theaters everywhere January 18, 2013.

The movie will follow the life of Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) after leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a failed operation that left him filled with regret. Trying to get away from it all, he moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.

With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive 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 rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for an action-packed showdown.
