As Matt tries to get more answers, Sylvain and an unnamed woman nearly reach a state of panic parked in their car and say that the caller told them they would die because of Matt’s own actions. Matt’s children look on from the back seat of their car, alarmed at the frantic call their father is receiving.
Sylvain desperately pleads with Matt to help him while the woman panics and briefly attempts to flag down a police officer.

“When a mysterious caller puts a bomb under his car seat, Matt Turner (Neeson) begins a high-speed chase across the city to complete a specific series of tasks,” the synopsis reads. “With his kids trapped in the back seat and a bomb that will explode if they get out of the car, a normal commute becomes a twisted game of life or death as Matt follows the stranger’s increasingly dangerous instructions in a race against time to save his family.”
The film’s full trailer, released in June, reveals that Matt initially treats the caller’s threats as a joke — until a car located near his does explode. The villain also targets at least one of Matt’s friends (Modine) along the way, leading law enforcement to suspect Matt himself is the bomber.
Neeson’s latest movie also stars Matthew Modine (Stranger Things), Noma Dumezweni, Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water), Lilly Aspell and Embeth Davidtz.
