The music builds steadily throughout, adding to the sense of urgency. By the end, you’re left with a mix of questions and chills. What do the kidnappers want? Who can these leaders really trust? And just how far will they go to protect their loved ones and their power? This trailer does what it should, it hooks you in and makes it impossible not to watch.
