Plot
Russell Baze (Bale) and his younger brother Rodney Jr. (Affleck) live in the economically-depressed Rust Belt, and have always dreamed of escaping and finding better lives. But when a cruel twist of fate lands Russell in prison, his brother is lured into one of the most violent and ruthless crime rings in the Northeast – a mistake that will almost cost him everything. Once released, Russell must choose between his own freedom, or risk it all to seek justice for his brother.

Production
The film is being produced by Relativity Media, with Jeff Waxman, Tucker Tooley and Brooklyn Weaver serving as executive producers. Leonardo DiCaprio, Tony Scott and Ridley Scott are among the film's producers.[3] Director Scott Cooper read an article about Braddock, Pennsylvania, a declining steel industry town outside of Pittsburgh, plagued for years by political corruption, economic inequality, social injustice and the efforts to revitalize it, lead by Latoya Ruby Frazier, a life long resident, renowned artist and community activist. After visiting, Cooper was inspired to use the borough as the backdrop for a film.[4] Cooper developed an original story and co-wrote the screenplay with Brad Ingelsby. The story has no relation to Out of This Furnace, a 1941 historical novel by Thomas Bell, set in Braddock.[5]
Production began in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area on April 13, 2012, and wrapped on June 1, 2012. The majority of filming took place in Braddock, with additional filming in nearby North Braddock, Imperial, and Rankin.[6] Prison scenes were shot in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, at the former State Penitentiary in Moundsville.[3] Filming also took place in rural Beaver County, including a deer hunting scene in Raccoon Creek State Park, and a mill scene in Koppel.[7] The Carrie Furnace, an abandoned blast furnace near Braddock, served as the location for the film's finale.[4]
Originally, it was announced that Alberto Iglesias had reached an agreement to compose the score for the film.[8] However, Dickon Hinchliffe has taken over duties for scoring the film.[9] Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder will also record a new song for the film.[10]
