Viola Davis as the president in "G20."
Watch Next

EGOT winner Viola Davis (The Woman King, Fences) steps into the U.S. presidency in G20, an upcoming thriller directed by Patricia Riggen.

Davis plays President Danielle Sutton, a veteran on her way to the G20 Summit with her husband (Anthony Anderson, Black-ish) and two children (Marsai Martin and Christopher Farrar). But the summit goes horribly awry when terrorists led by the menacing Rutledge (The Boys' Antony Starr) take over and hold everyone hostage. Their goal? To control the world economy by making deepfakes of each world leader present at the G20.

However, Rutledge's plan did not account for Danielle, who escapes the initial attack and launches a counterattack of her own. But can this one-woman army save her family and the world from total chaos?

Check out the full trailer above for a taste of the action to come, including Davis absolutely kicking butt in hand-to-hand combat.

G20 hits Prime Video Apr. 10.
