John Cena wants to bring running water to a rural village, but it’ll cost him. Jackie Chan wants to save civilians from a rebel attack — even though it puts him in the line of fire. Whether it’s fate or an evil oil monger that brings these two elite fighters together, they’ll do whatever it takes to take down the baddies. Directed by Scott Waugh (Need for Speed) and written by Arash Amel (A Private War), Hidden Strike follows Cena and Chan as two private contractors with opposing missions who come together to save Iraqi civilians from rebels seeking to overtake an oil refinery.

What happens in Hidden Strike?

When a group of international rebels target a massive oil refinery in Iraq, a private Chinese security team led by Commander Luo (Chan) volunteers to escort nearly 500 civilians to safety in Iraq’s Green Zone. To get there, they must travel via bus along one of the most dangerous roads in the world. On the way, they’re attacked by a team of mercenaries, including decorated US veteran Chris (Cena). Initially reluctant to take on the job, Chris accepts the offer after finding out the exorbitant cost of restoring water to the Iraqi village where he lives.
