The Story: A Man Caught Between Two Worlds
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) is a former U.S. Special Forces operative turned arms dealer, with deep connections to the world’s most dangerous terrorist organizations. When a major international bomb plot is uncovered, Samir’s name appears on every intelligence watchlist, marking him as a traitor to his country.
FBI Agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) leads the investigation, determined to unravel the mystery behind Samir’s shifting allegiances. But as the chase intensifies across Yemen, Spain, France, and the U.S., Clayton begins to suspect that things aren’t as black-and-white as they seem—and that Samir may not be the villain everyone believes him to be.
