"I've got a bad feeling about this..." As the suspenseful trailer for the UK action thriller "Fuze" unfolds, it reveals a tale of chaos and high-stakes intrigue, ready to explode onto UK cinema screens starting in April. This latest offering from acclaimed director David Mackenzie ("Starred Up," "Hell or High Water," "Outlaw King," "Relay") promises to be a gripping cinematic experience.
In the heart of London, a busy construction site unexpectedly yields an unexploded WWII bomb, sparking a mass evacuation as military and police forces race against time. But beneath the surface of this explosive situation lies a hidden story – a group of men, led by diamond expert Karalis (Theo James), are holed up in a basement within the evacuation zone, plotting a daring jewel heist amidst the chaos.
The film stars an impressive cast including Theo James, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, joined by Sam Worthington, Elham Ehsas, and Honor Swinton Byrne. While it premiered at TIFF last year, there's still no set US release date – so keep your eyes peeled. TIFF describes "Fuze" as "a truly wild ride" that blends the conventions of whodunnits with the time-sensitive action of heist movies.
As the situation escalates with a WWII bomb discovered in central London, a team of military experts led by Will (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) race to investigate and defuse the device. A massive police operation ensues, evacuating thousands of residents. Amidst the turmoil, a group of men, under Karalis' guidance, plot their audacious jewel heist – all while the bomb ticks down to explosion.
Directed by the talented British filmmaker David Mackenzie, "Fuze" boasts an impressive resume that includes films like "Young Adam," "Hallam Foe," "Spread," "Perfect Sense," "Tonight You're Mine," and more. The screenplay is penned by Ben Hopkins ("Marionette," "In Search of Monsters," "Inside," "Limonov"). Produced by Gillian Berrie, Callum Grant, David Mackenzie, and Sébastien Raybaud, "Fuze" is set to debut in UK cinemas starting April 3rd, 2026. For now, let the anticipation build – this could be one explosive ride!
