Viola Davis plays a commander in chief determined to save the day in the trailer for the Amazon MGM Studios action movie G20. Directed by Patricia Riggen, this highly anticipated feature is set to start streaming on Prime Video on April 10. The notable cast includes Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Ramón Rodríguez, Antony Starr, Douglas Hodge, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Clark Gregg.
The story centers around President Taylor Sutton, portrayed by Davis, who faces an urgent crisis when terrorists seize control of the G20 summit in Cape Town, South Africa. The situation escalates quickly as Davis’s character prioritizes the safety of her family and other global leaders amidst the chaos. “My husband and kids are missing,” she expresses with urgency in the trailer. “We have to find them.”
Adding to the tension, the lead terrorist, played by Starr, ominously 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 manages to blend thrilling action with significant geopolitical implications, crafting a narrative relevant to today’s technologically advanced world.
This film marks a transformative role for Viola Davis, showcasing her as a heroic figure engaging in high-stakes action. Riggen previously stated, “This is Viola Davis as you’ve never seen her — heroically kicking tons of ass in a global thrill ride.” Having recently appeared in works like The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and Air, Davis continues to expand her impressive repertoire.
