Wind River exclusive clip: Elizabeth Olsen investigates murder in snow-bound Wyoming

She joins Jeremy Renner as two agents who cross paths when investigating the murder of a young woman on a Native American reservation

Sicario and Hell or High Water scribe Taylor Sheridan makes his directorial debut with Wind River, so don't expect a film any less visceral or intense in its content.

Here, Elizabeth Olsen stars as FBI agent Jane Banner, determined to solve the murder of an 18-year-old woman on Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation, with the aid of local US Fish and Wildlife Service agent Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner).

Their investigation sees them cross paths with a local oil drilling site, with their arrival resulting in a tense stand-off with security, as seen in an exclusive clip from the film.

First premiering at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Sheridan's impressive debut picked up the attention of the Weinstein Company when it screened at the Cannes Film Festival, where Sheridan won the Un Certain Regard prize for Best Director.

Its US release has seen it grow as something of an underdog hit with a per-theatre average of $40,390, one of the best for 2017, during its initial, limited opening weekend. It then continued to expand its theatre distribution in its second and third weeks, managing to finish 4th at the box office.

Wind River hits UK cinemas 8 September.
