Get ready for the all-new, high-octane, kick-ass spy thriller MR–9: Do or Die. This action-packed thrill-ride sees two elite CIA agents, one from the US and the other from Bangladesh, team up to take down a global terrorist organisation.
Director Asif Akbar (Boneyard, The Commando) delivers a thrill-a-minute, martial-arts-fuelled, secret agent, hair-raiser which gets its UK premiere on digital this January courtesy of Plaion Pictures.
Based on the first book in Qazi Anwar Hussain’s highly acclaimed series Masud Rana – Bangladesh’s answer to James Bond – it stars action favourites Micheal Jai White and Frank Grillo, alongside rising star ABM Sumon as Masud Rana and promises to keep you on the edge of your seat, with its full-on action and carnage-filled fight scenes.
Masud Rana (ABM Sumon), a special agent working for the Bangladeshi CIA must race against time to discover the sinister connection between the terrorist group known as the TLF and the high-tech RNR Robotics, run by billionaire brothers Roman (Grillo) and Ricci Ross (Passmore).
Meanwhile, CIA agents George Duke (Jai White) and Paul Taylor (Niko Foster) are hot on the heels of the same group, who have discovered a sinister plot brewing to simultaneously attack the USA and Bangladesh.
With catastrophe looming and the two countries about to be brought to their knees, will the spies be able to join-forces to stop the planned attack and bring the terrorists to justice?
