The first look at Battleship director Peter Berg's take on the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing has been released.

Patriots Day stars Mark Wahlberg, who has been the lead in two other Berg films based on true stories - Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon.

The former boy band star and underwear model plays a police sergeant who joins courageous survivors, first responders and investigators in a race against the clock to hunt down those responsible for the attack, which killed three people and injured an estimated 265.

Alongside Wahlberg, the film co-stars Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, JK Simmons and Michelle Monaghan.

It's set for a January 2017 release.
