Border Run is an American thriller film from 2012, directed by Gabriela Tagliavini, and starring Sharon Stone, Promise LaMarco, and Billy Zane. The movie tells the story of a journalist named Sofie Talbert (played by Stone) who is investigating the disappearance of her brother in Juárez, Mexico. Sofie is a dedicated journalist who works for a newspaper in Phoenix, Arizona. She is contacted by a man named Aaron (Zane), who offers to help her in her search for her brother, who was last seen in Juárez. Aaron tells Sofie that he has information that could help her find her brother, but in exchange, he asks her to investigate a story about a human smuggler named Miguel (Miguel Rodarte) who operates in the same area.

Sofie agrees to Aaron's proposal, and she travels to Juárez to investigate the story. She meets up with a local photographer named Marco (Javier Montalvo), who introduces her to the world of the border crossing business. Marco takes Sofie to a local brothel, where she is shocked to learn that many of the women who work there are victims of human trafficking.

As Sofie continues her investigation, she discovers that Miguel is involved in the same illegal activities. She enlists the help of a young Mexican girl named Ana (LaMarco), who is a victim of human trafficking herself. Ana helps Sofie to infiltrate the brothels where the girls are kept, and together they gather evidence against Miguel and his associates.

Throughout the movie, Sofie faces many challenges and obstacles in her search for her brother. She is also forced to confront her own personal demons, including her troubled relationship with her son, as she becomes more involved in the dangerous and violent world of human smuggling.

Border Run is a fast-paced thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seat. The film has an intense and gritty atmosphere, thanks to the realistic portrayal of the violent and lawless world of Juárez. Sharon Stone delivers a powerful and nuanced performance as Sofie, portraying the character's strength, vulnerability, and determination to find her brother.

The relationship between Sofie and Ana is also a highlight of the movie. The two women come from very different backgrounds, but they share a common desire to fight against the injustices they witness. The bond they form is touching and adds an emotional depth to the storyline.

Billy Zane, who plays Aaron, brings a sense of mystery to the plot. He is a slick and charming character who always seems to know more than he lets on. Miguel Rodarte delivers a convincing performance as the human smuggler, portraying him as a ruthless and desperate man who will do anything to protect his criminal enterprise.

Overall, Border Run is a gripping and intense thriller that sheds light on the harsh realities of the Mexican-American border. With strong performances and a timely and relevant storyline, it is a movie that will keep audiences hooked until the very end.
