Kinda Complicated
In Budapest, former Australian Special Forces Corporal Edward Rutledge (Antony Starr) and his mercenaries try to acquire a $70 million CryptoCurrency wallet by chasing a woman named Quoll (Angela Sarafyan) a Crypto-Currency broker, down the streets and finally drugging her into a coma in a nearby pub. Rutledge's team includes Bousquet (Conrad Kemp), Titos (Emmanuel Castis) and Csonger (David James). Meanwhile, US President and Army veteran Danielle Sutton (Viola Davis) is publicly embarrassed by the rebellious antics of her daughter Serena (Marsai Martin) who breaks the RFID Technology and sneaks out of The White House to go partying, leading Sutton and her husband Derek (Anthony Anderson) to bring Serena and her brother Demetrius (Christopher Farrar) with them to the G20 summit of world leaders in South Africa. Danielle saw combat in her time in the army and carries an injury to her knee that she needs to protect and care for. Arriving for the summit at a heavily fortified hotel in Cape Town, Sutton and Treasury Secretary Joanna Worth (Elizabeth Marvel) present their plan to empower struggling sub-Saharan farmers through access to digital currency. She says that at the time of planting crops, farmers have to buy seeds through money that they have to save in their huts, under their cots, which puts them and their families in danger of being assaulted and robbed. Digital currency is safe and secure. However, Danielle's plan is not supported by a majority of the G20 leaders including from UK. Danielle and Worth were on the opposing side during the campaign for the Presidential Primaries. Due to the additional threat perception and in an inexperienced nation, not used to hosting an event of such magnitude, The US Director of CIA Mikkelson (Julius Tennon) brings in PAX security services company to provide additional boots on the ground. Unknown to them, PAX was connected to Rutledge and Bousqet, Titos and Csonger were aligned to him. Warren Paxton (Gideon Emery) is the sole PAX Security operative unaligned with Rutledge. As Rutledge launches the attack, the first person to be killed is Paxton at the hands of Rutledge. PAX then disables all mobile communication around the hotel, and disables hotel Wi-Fi. They also lock the gates in a way that only their key cards can have access to certain sections of the hotel. Infiltrating the summit, Rutledge and his men ambush the guests' security details, including Sutton's own Secret Service Counter Assault Team, and seize control of the hotel. As the members of the summit are taken hostage, Sutton and Secret Service Agent Manny Ruiz (Ramón RodrÃguez) slip away with UK Prime Minister Oliver Everett (Douglas Hodge), head of the International Monetary Fund Elena Romano (Sabrina Impacciatore), and First Lady of South Korea Han Minh-Seo (MeeWha Alana Lee), while Derek rescues his children and evades capture. Everett and Elena were both against Danielle's plan to help the sub-Saharan nations. Elena wanted to cut the plan down in half, while Everett accused Danielle of bulldozing her plan through the G20 summit. As the situation escalates Danielle knows that US has no forces in South Africa, so any Quick Reaction Force will take hours to get there and would not be effective due to the high value hostages in play. The only plan is to get to the Presidential Limousine and try to breach the hotel perimeter to escape, which is 1 Kms away from the main hotel. Broadcasting his actions to the world, Rutledge accuses Sutton and her fellow leaders of corruption and urges citizens around the globe to place all their money in Cryptocurrency, outside of governmental control. Rutledge then gets the heads of states to record keywords that can help create deep fake videos that nobody would be able to identify as fakes. He uses the hostages' voices and likenesses to create deep-fake videos supporting his claims, leaking the doctored footage to the press, and the surge in Crypto investment sends the value of his own wallet soaring. On the roof, Serena manages to send a message to Vice President Harold Mosely (Clark Gregg), but turncoat Secret Service Agent Darden (John Hoogenakker) captures Derek. Serena informs Mosley that Darden is the insider who helped PAX gain access to the Hotel and to the G20 conference. Fighting off mercenaries, which include Suidlanders, Sutton and a wounded Ruiz guide the others to 'the Beast', the presidential armored limo. Rutledge executes the Prime Minister of Australia and the President of South Korea before beating Derek over the radio, forcing Sutton to reveal her location. Darden finds her but is killed by Ruiz, and Serena and Demetrius are saved by Melokuhle (Theo Bongani Ndyalvane) and Lesedi (Noxolo Dlamini), South African government agents posing as hotel staff. Han rejoins the hostages and finds her husband's body, while Elena and Everett drive the Beast through the hotel perimeter and Lesedi destroys the mercenaries' missiles. Everett informs Mosely of Sutton's plan to save the hostages, and Ruiz cuts the hotel's power as Melokuhle and Lesedi take over the mercenaries' surveillance feed with the help of Serena' hacking skills. Killing more of Rutledge's men, Sutton surrenders herself to save her husband, when Rutledge puts a knife to his throat. Danielle's capture allows Rutledge to manipulate her image in a final deep-fake that crashes the American economy and gains him $150 billion. Accusing Sutton, who rose to prominence after a heroic photo while serving in Iraq, of profiting off the deaths of his brothers-in-arms, Rutledge shoots Derek. Stabbed by Han, Rutledge drops the wallet and flees, and a strike team rescues the hostages. Derek is saved by his bulletproof vest, and Sutton realizes Worth is in league with Rutledge, who takes Serena at gunpoint to escape by helicopter. Sutton confronts him with the wallet, the only means of accessing the money, which is knocked into the forest below. Before he can shoot Serena, Sutton tackles Rutledge out of the helicopter to his death, and the strike team pulls the helicopter to safety. In the aftermath, Worth is incarcerated, Ruiz recovers, and President Sutton's plan is successfully adopted by the G20, as she and her family return home to the White House.
