Hidden Strike, directed by Scott Waugh, thrusts viewers into a world of danger, intrigue, and adrenaline-fueled action. With an ensemble cast led by Jackie Chan and John Cena, this film takes us on a heart-pounding journey along Baghdad’s treacherous “Highway of Death.”
An oil refinery in Iraq, owned by Chinese firm Unicorp, falls under attack by ruthless mercenaries led by Owen Paddock, an ex-special forces soldier. Enter Dragon Luo Feng (Jackie Chan), who heads a private security company. Their mission: to evacuate civilians in a convoy of eleven buses to the safety of the Green Zone. But danger lurks at every turn.
The convoy hurtles through the desert, facing gunfire, explosions, and betrayal. As Feng and his team protect their charges, they navigate a deadly gauntlet. The sandstorm created by the mercenaries adds to the chaos, obscuring their true intentions.
Former US Marine Chris Van Horne (John Cena) reluctantly joins the fray. His motivations are personal—he seeks to fix a well in his rural village. But as the mission unfolds, secrets emerge, and alliances shift. The line between friend and foe blurs, leaving everyone guessing.
Sylvester Stallone was initially attached to the project but later dropped out due to commitments with Creed 2. John Cena stepped in to replace him, bringing his own brand of intensity to the role.
Hidden Strike is available for streaming on Netflix. Grab your popcorn, buckle up, and prepare for an adrenaline rush.
