Maggie is a 2015 American post-apocalyptic horror drama film directed by Henry Hobson, in his directorial debut, written by John Scott 3. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, and Joely Richardson. Maggie is a dramatic departure for Schwarzenegger, who is better known for his action film roles.

The film was originally set to premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, but Lionsgate bought the American distribution rights and pulled the film out of the festival's roster.[6] It instead premiered at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival on April 23, 2015, as part of its lineup,[1] followed by a limited theatrical release and simultaneous VOD release on May 8, 2015.
