With a powerful combination of high-octane action and emotional depth, the film ‘G20’ promises to deliver a unique blend of intensity and heart—centered around a heroine like no other.
Viola Davis, who plays President Danielle Sutton, leads the film as a mother and world leader fighting against all odds when terrorists seize the G20 summit. “I always wanted to play a hero,” she shares. “I really love that she’s juggling being a mother and, at the same time, the leader of the free world.”
The behind-the-scenes footage shows the gripping setup: as the world’s most powerful leaders gather, a terrorist attack throws everything into chaos. With her family missing and world leaders held hostage, President Sutton is forced to think fast, fight back, and protect both her loved ones and the global order. “We have to find them,” she says urgently in one scene, echoing the emotional weight at the heart of the action.
The movie is packed with explosive action, tactical fight sequences, and raw emotion. From shouting “Drop it!” to facing off against ruthless antagonists, Davis’s transformation into a formidable action figure is more than convincing. “What makes this movie very important for me is that we don’t have a lot of action movies with a female badass hero—let alone, a woman of color,” she says.
Viola Davis underwent intense physical training for the role, including jiu-jitsu and tactical combat techniques. “I wanted to look like I actually could take down someone,” she remarks. The team behind the action previously worked with her on The Woman King, ensuring authenticity in both choreography and tone.

Starring alongside Davis is a strong ensemble cast including Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Ramón Rodríguez, Antony Starr, Douglas Hodge, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Clark Gregg. Each actor brings their own weight and presence to the narrative, adding layers to the geopolitical and personal stakes of the story.
Directed with cinematic flair and realism, G20 is more than just an action flick—it’s a story of resilience, leadership, and maternal strength, all wrapped in explosive sequences and edge-of-your-seat tension.
As Davis’s character boldly declares in one scene, “I will not leave them.” With grit, grace, and a few bruises along the way, G20 is shaping up to be one of the year’s most exciting and empowering thrillers.
