The “Iron Man” star’s latest post unveiled the trailer for his new movie “The Judge,” which he dubbed “the kind of movie I grew up wanting to make.”
The clip shows Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role of Hank Palmer, a big city lawyer who returns to his childhood home after his mother’s death. As Hank tries to reconnect his his estranged father (Robert Duvall), the town’s judge, things get more complicated when he receives a call from the sheriff saying that his father is accused of murder.
