Relay

Oscar winner Riz Ahmed (The Sound of Metal, Nightcrawler) and Lily James (The Iron Claw, Baby Driver) lead David McKenzie's (Hell or High Water) RELAY, a tense thriller inspired by conspiracy films of the 70s.

Ash (Ahmed) is a reclusive fixer that slides unnoticed through the streets of Manhattan, protecting corporate whistleblowers who've found themselves in life-threatening situations. Leading life of strict codes and regiments, all while continually afflicted by his own internal demons, he's tasked with helping Sarah Grant (James), a former bio-tech researcher who wants to return documents she stole from her former employer that, if released, would expose a highly carcinogenic product about to hit the market. But when the team of mercenaries tasked with following Sarah get increasingly ruthless, Ash is forced to forgo his strict set of rules, especially as the pair begin to emotionally connect, in order to make sure both he and his client escape alive.

A taught, slick, and twisting journey through hyper-surveillance and corporate espionage, RELAY is a cat-and-mouse game that refuses to let up.

Starts August 21 at Luna Leederville & the Windsor.
