Max movie quotes tell the story of a military dog grieves alongside the family of his handler, who was killed in action. The adventure drama was written by Boaz Yakin, who also directed, and Sheldon Lettich. Max opened in theaters on June 26, 2015.
In Max, Kyle Wincott (Robbie Amell) is serving in Afghanistan along with his military dog, Max, a Belgian Malinois. But when Kyle is killed in action, Max is retired and left in a military kennel. Kyle's family, including mother Pamela (Lauren Graham), father Ray (Thomas Haden Church) and younger brother Justin (Josh Wiggins), decide to adopt Max, despite his unfriendly demeanor.
Max helps the family grieve the loss of Kyle, while dealing with his own post-traumatic stress from battle. Youngest son Justin bonds quickly with the dog, which proves beneficial when Kyle's friend Tyler (Luke Kleintank) arrives to pay his respects and Ray leaves suddenly, sending Justin and Max on an adventure to find Tyler and Ray.
Kyle: The nose of a dog, the heart of a marine, sounds like a hero to me. Pamela: We're do proud of you both! Kyle: Oh, you hear that, Max? Say hi. Pamela: Come say goodbye to your brother. Justin! Kyle: Leave him be. I'm just over here dealing with a minor insurgency. He's trying to save the whole universe.
In a video conference, soldier Kyle speaks with his family members at home. Kyle talks about his dog, Max, and his kid brother, Justin.
Tyler: Your brother always wanted to be a hero. Look where it got him. ... Ray: What do you got in those crates?
Justin talks to his late brother Kyle's friend, Tyler, who doesn't seem to speak too favorably about Kyle. Things get stranger when Ray discovers Tyler with some interesting cargo.
Justin: What, do you want me to stay? Just until you fall asleep. ... Pamela: You been out here all night? Justin: I don't want to talk about it.
Hearing Max howling, Justin agrees to stay outside with the dog just long enough for it to fall asleep. However, when his mother discovers Justin in the yard the next morning, he has some explaining to do.
