Starring Kerry Washington and Omar Sy, this action thriller packs family, betrayal, and survival into one explosive package.
đ„ Whatâs the Story?
In a world where loyalty has limits and love breaks the rules, Shadow Force centers on Kyrah (Washington) and Isaac (Sy), former leaders of an elite multinational black ops unit known as Shadow Force. But their biggest crime? Falling in love.
Now fugitives from their own, once-loyal unit â with a bounty on their heads and a young son to protect â Kyrah and Isaac must rely on each other and their tactical skills to survive. But as the past closes in, every bullet and betrayal brings them closer to a final reckoning.
The âFog of Warâ clip reveals a fog-drenched jungle standoff where visibility is limited but tensions are razor-sharp â setting the tone for the high-stakes intensity the full film promises.
