Plot
Beckett, an American tourist vacationing in Greece with his girlfriend April (Alicia Vikander). What was supposed to be a relaxing holiday took a deadly turn after he stumbles upon a kidnapping. The incident made him a target of a manhunt.
Beckett gets forced to run for his life. His only hope is to get to the American embassy to clear his name. However, tensions arise when he gets pursued by the authorities. He eventually gets caught up in a dangerous web of conspiracy as political unrest mounts in the area.
"A manhunt thriller is a road-trip movie, in a way," Cito Filomarino told EW about the movie. "It was interesting to embrace the variety of Greece's topography, like, what can we throw at Beckett next? Mountains, rivers, buses, trains..."
Expect a lot of running as Beckett is forced to travel on foot from the rural wilderness to the U.S. embassy in Athens. Beckett is no superhero, and his struggles will be very relatable for the common man, making the premise even more interesting
