G20 centers on President Taylor Sutton (Davis), who must fight for the well-being of her family and other world leaders when terrorists take control of the G20 summit in Cape Town, South Africa.
“My husband and kids are missing,” Davis says in the trailer. “We have to find them.”
At one point, the lead terrorist (Starr) declares, “To the governments watching, I’ve taken the G20 by force. When we launch Project Deepfake, we will reset the world’s financial markets.”
Riggen (The 33) helmed the film from a script by Caitlin Parrish, Erica Weiss, Logan Miller and Noah Miller. Davis, Andrew Lazar and Julius Tennon serve as producers.
“This is Viola Davis as you’ve never seen her — heroically kicking tons of ass in a global thrill ride,” Riggen said in a previously released statement. “With G20, I wanted to make the kind of classic, edge-of-your-seat action film that I’ve always been such a fan of, but one that draws on the high stakes of our modern and technologically advanced world we live in.”
Davis’ recent credits include The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and Air, along with voice roles in Kung Fu Panda 4 and Creature Commandos.
