ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller90 min

Gene Watson (Johnny Depp), an ordinary businessman arriving at a train station with his daughter, is cornered and told he must assassinate a politician if he wants the child back alive. The story unfolds in real time as Watson is pushed toward a public event and a deadline measured in minutes, with Christopher Walken among the people tightening the pressure around him. Politics, murder, and a very public setting leave him little room to move as he tries to find a way out.
