SAS: Red Notice - Rise of the Black Swan

SAS: Red Notice is a 2021 action thriller film directed by Magnus Martens, based on the novel of the same name by Andy McNab and starring Sam Heughan, Ruby Rose, Andy Serkis, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hopper, Noel Clarke, Owain Yeoman, Ray Panthaki, Anne Reid and Tom Wilkinson.

SAS: Red Notice was released in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2021 by Sky Cinema.

Black Swans, a family-owned private military company led by American citizens William Lewis and his adult children Grace and Oliver, was hired by SAS commander George Clements to help a transnational gas pipeline clear through a remote village located at the fictional Gveli Pass in Georgia. They faced resistance and started a massacre. Their atrocities were secretly filmed by a little girl who led them to receive red notices and they were accused of crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court demanded that the UK extradite the accused to the Hague to stand trial, because they live in North London. It turned out Prime Minister Atwood was behind Clements. He secretly ordered Clements to kill William on the scene instead of arresting to cover up the link.

SAS operator, Tom Buckingham, who was at the "arrest" later takes his girlfriend, Dr. Sophie Hart, on a romantic train journey from London to Paris where he intends to propose to her with his grandma's bequest, a ring that was said to be chopped off the finger of a Maharaja during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. But the remnants led by Grace Lewis hijack their train while it is en route in the Channel Tunnel, taking all of the passengers on board hostage at gunpoint. Buckingham escapes from the train and uses his military skills to save the passengers, including his girlfriend, who is now amongst the hostages on board the train.
