Guns & Moses director Sal Litvak highlighted the importance of his new film’s theatrical release, noting the rise of antisemitism and hate against people of faith.

The film is an action thriller that details the journey of a Hasidic rabbi who learns how to use a gun in order to defend his community after it is violently attacked. Litvak told the Washington Examiner that Guns & Moses was inspired by recent attacks against Jewish people and their communities, specifically the 2019 Chabad of Poway shooting in California and the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel.
