A political summit is necessary for the development of nations. This is a forum where all the world’s leaders meet and discuss global issues. The summit is often called the G20, or Group of 20. But what happens when a group of terrorists hijacks this G20 summit? Director Patricia Riggen has exceptionally delivered the movie to the audience by highlighting the present scenarios of financial instability and economic crisis in the world.
Involves a Huge Starcast
This film features a huge star cast—Anthony Anderson, Ramon Rodriguez, Elizabeth Marvel, and Marsai Martin. Every actor’s performance is worth mentioning. In the leading role, Viola Davis as the President steals the whole movie.
Keeps you Hooked
The main plot point is what leads the president to bring her family to the summit, which is taking place in Cape Town, South Africa. When the media questions the President about her principles and her concern towards society, it affects her sense of morality. Adding to this, when her daughter drinks shots at the bar, and this video goes viral, that sparks controversy. These incidents bring the president down emotionally. So to build a public perception, the president convinces the family to accompany her to the summit.
Plot Twist
However, her plan goes haywire when a bunch of terrorists hijack the G20 summit. Now the President is at stake when her family, along with other world leaders, are held hostage by terrorists. But the twist in the plot arises when terrorists release a statement demanding global cryptocurrencies, eventually striking fear among world leaders. Antony Starr, as head of a terrorist group, has justified his character extraordinarily.
Now the concerning factor is how the president and other leaders strategise to eliminate the terrorist gang from the summit. The story gets intense when the President herself confronts the terrorist leader to solve the issue. However, this confrontation leads to an epic battle between the duo, a remarkably breathtaking scene.
Why to Watch
Overall, in the film, the idea of manipulating cryptocurrencies to destabilize the world’s economy acts as a captivating moment. Finally, the film concludes with the president solving the issues with the help of military skills to save the hostages and bring back harmony.
Additionally, the screenplay intertwines a compelling story of diplomacy and power, while the background score subtly captures every moment, from tense to happy, thereby increasing the emotional depth of the G20 film. G20 is a movie worth watching, and it is a 100% entertainment movie; it can stay in the viewer’s mind forever. Nevertheless, if compared to other movies like Air Force One or Olympus Has Fallen, the G20 movie stands apart for its unique storyline, characters, screenplay, and wonderful action sequences.
