Sylvester Stallone, Scott Eastwood, Mike Colter, and Willa Fitzgerald star in this explosive action-thriller about two married spies caught in the crosshairs of an international intelligence network that will stop at nothing to obtain a critical asset. Joe (Eastwood) and Lara (Fitzgerald) are agents living off the grid whose quiet retreat at a winter resort is blown to shreds when members of the old guard suspect the two may have joined an elite team of rogue spies, known as ALARUM.

00:00Any time you can bring a spy thriller to the screen,
00:03we're gonna have a lot of fun.
00:04So it wasn't very hard to bring this to life
00:07when you have Scott and Stallone.
00:09They like the story.
00:10Scott was already on board and I knew Stallone for a while
00:15and this was something that we could do together.
00:17And after those two, we got Willa and that was a trifecta.
00:22Once we got those three, we were off to the races.
00:25Stallone's there, you just take a step back
00:27and you watch what he's gonna bring,
00:29but he does love direction.
00:31He likes to know what's going on
00:32and he moves quite quick and he's such a veteran
00:37that if something isn't working during a scene,
00:41more than likely he has the antidote to help everybody out
00:44and he's a real team player.
00:48I get to make popcorn movies.
00:50It's a lot of fun to have a career
00:51where you can go back and forth.
00:53Actually, it's always time commitment,
00:54how much time you get to pull off some of these stunts.
00:59Every time there's an explosion, it takes a while
01:02and safety is priority number one.
