According to THR, the film is structured into three chapters, with Reese appearing in the final segment. The Sky star is said to share the screen with Idris Elba, who portrays the U.S. president. In the scene, Elba arrives at Liberty Arena, where Reese awaits on the court. He sinks a few shots before being suddenly called away to handle a growing crisis.

The movie marks Reese's Hollywood debut as she continues building her impressive portfolio. Written by Noah Oppenheim, the film tells a gripping story of a nuclear warhead headed for America, with Elba and his team racing against time to stop the threat.
