Updated on June 24, 2019 at 11:40 PM

If you're anxiously awaiting Shia LaBeouf's autobiographical drama Honey Boy, allow the brand-new trailer for The Peanut Butter Falcon to keep you busy.

The adventure film sees LaBeouf as Tyler, a small-time outlaw on the run who ends up crossing paths with the star of the film, Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome who dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. After Zak runs away from his residential nursing home and teams up with Tyler, the pair attempt to elude being dragged back to their respective homes as they live off the land, drink plenty of whiskey, and bond over Zak's wrestling idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church).

Suspiria's Dakota Johnson also stars in the film as the nursing home employee tasked with bringing Zak back safely, and the rest of the cast is rounded out by John Hawkes, Bruce Dern, and Jon Bernthal. Watch the unbelievably sweet trailer above before it arrives in theaters on Aug. 9.
