What is Retribution about?
“When a mysterious caller puts a bomb under his car seat, Matt Turner (Neeson) begins a high-speed chase across the city to complete a specific series of tasks,” reads the synopsis. “With his kids trapped in the back seat and a bomb that will explode if they get out of the car, a normal commute becomes a twisted game of life or death as Matt follows the stranger’s increasingly dangerous instructions in a race against time to save his family.”
Retribution is directed by Nimrod Antal from a screenplay written by Christopher Salmanpour. It is described as an immersive ticking clock thriller that straps audiences in for a high-octane ride of redemption and revenge.
Joining Neeson are Matthew Modine (Stranger Things), Noma Dumezweni (The Little Mermaid), Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water), Lilly Aspell, Embeth Davidtz (Schindler’s List), and Arian Moayed (Succession). Producers are Andrew Rona, Alex Heineman, Jaume Collet-Serra, and Juan Sola.
