Action star Iko Uwais (Expend4bles) is set to headline MRI, a new high-stakes thriller centered on a hospital under siege, as worldwide sales begin at the American Film Market via sales agent K5 International.
The film, directed by Liam O’Donnell (Beyond Skyline), propels Uwais into an adrenaline-fueled setting where chaos erupts and survival is far from guaranteed. Uwais plays a “broken-down hitman with a shattered family and a busted knee, who undergoes a routine MRI when the entire hospital is taken over by ruthless gangsters. Now, he’s the only man who can rescue their target, the daughter of a powerful crime boss, and somehow save the day, one agonizing step at a time.”
K5 is positioning MRI as a global action vehicle, leveraging Uwais’s rising international profile and the locked-in theatre of the hospital siege scenario. With AFM approaching, the sales campaign is expected to generate significant interest from buyers looking for bold, fight-driven content with international cast appeal.
No release date has been announced yet, but with K5 already launching the project at the market, behind-the-scenes momentum is clearly building.
