What is the film all about?

The trailer for Midnight in Phoenix was released on April 22, 2025, and is available for viewers on the Breaking Glass Pictures YouTube channel. The trailer begins with Levi and Ezra enjoying the sunset as Levi narrates that a person can't rely on time being on their side every time.

Later in the clip, Levi, a drag queen, is shown performing at a club. Ezra questions Levi whether he enjoys his work, and Levi answers that it is all he has ever known. It also shows a scene of Ezra enjoying Levi's performance and stating the same to him as they enjoy a meal together. Things suddenly intensify as, during a robbery gone wrong, Ezra ends up shooting the robber with a gun by mistake.

But instead of calling the cops, they decide to run away, since Ezra believes that due to their color, the authorities won't be kind to them. They were captured fleeing on camera and were declared primary suspects in the killing by the media. Levi is later shown getting ready to perform, even though the cops are searching for him.

Levi and Ezra decide to go rogue and start robbing places since they believe they have nothing to lose after being declared as primary suspects for murder. Oliver warns Levi and tells him to take care of Ezra. After committing multiple offenses, the trailer then shows the duo on the run, trying to avoid the authorities.

As the trailer closes, Ezra suggests to Levi in an emotional moment that even if they are caught, they should not stop looking out for each other.
