Will’s family is kidnapped while on a vacation in Spain. In a race against time to rescue them, he puts the pieces of their disappearance together, uncovering a government conspiracy related to his father, a briefcase, and meeting a mysterious woman played by Sigourney Weaver.

Only instinct will be his greatest weapon. Now showing in theaters, The Cold Light of Day is an adrenaline-fueled action thriller from director Mabrouk El Mechri.
