Viola Davis saves the day as president in thrilling G20 movie

In April 2025, amidst a fictional G20 summit held in South Africa, the United States faced a critical threat as terrorists, led by Eddie Rutledge, attempted to hijack the event. President Danielle Sutton, portrayed by Viola Davis, demonstrated her leadership and combat abilities as she fought back to rescue hostages and stabilize the global economy. The film weaves in her background as a war veteran, giving depth to her character as she navigated the chaos while also managing personal tensions within her family, including her spouse and kids. Throughout the film, political debates arise, particularly surrounding the use of Bitcoin as a solution for world hunger, showcasing the complexities of real-world politics. President Sutton’s adventurous and action-packed efforts mirror those of famous action heroes like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. Her character inspires not just the other characters in the film, but also draws parallels to themes of empowerment in real-life leadership scenarios that resonate with contemporary audiences. The cinematography employs shaky handheld cameras to enhance the intensity of action scenes, which are reminiscent of classic action movie settings, such as office buildings. G20 ultimately offers a rollicking, albeit fanciful, exploration of America’s role on the global stage and the challenges faced by leaders today, all presented in an entertaining format.
