The film, which also stars Zachary Levi, is set in Iran and follows a team of former intelligence agents who embark on a covert operation that quickly escalates into a dangerous rescue mission.
The plot begins after a failed mission in Afghanistan, leading Tucker (Zachary Levi) and his team to leave the CIA and attempt civilian life. However, a reunion with their former handler, Larry (Liam Neeson), presents them with an extraordinary opportunity: a $25 million heist targeting the Iranian regime. Tucker reassembles the team for an unauthorized operation inside Iran, hoping the money will allow them to start anew.
However, the agents find themselves deep within enemy territory without official backup and pursued by Iranian security forces, causing the plan to unravel. What started as a meticulously planned heist transforms into a race against time, forcing the team to completely shift their objective to a daring rescue operation in the heart of Tehran.
The 141-minute film is distributed in Israel by Tulip Entertainment and is slated for release in cinemas in October 2026.
