Interceptor (film)
Interceptor is a 2022 action thriller film directed by Matthew Reilly in his directorial debut, from a screenplay by Reilly and Stuart Beattie and a story by Reilly. An international co-production between Australia and the United States, the film stars Elsa Pataky and Luke Bracey. It follows a tough and reality-bruised army officer who finds herself in charge of a lone nuclear missile interceptor base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after she is wrongfully drummed out of her dream job at the Pentagon.
The film began streaming on Netflix on June 3, 2022, and climbed to number one on the streamer's top 10 list with about 50 million hours viewed. It received mixed reviews from critics, and was nominated for Best Production Design at the 12th AACTA Awards.
An American missile site with weapons intended to intercept nuclear missiles inbound to the United States located in Fort Greely, Alaska, is raided by unknown terrorists while 16 nuclear warheads are simultaneously seized from Russian territory. U.S. Army Captain J. J. Collins is assigned to another interceptor site, a remote platform in the middle of the Pacific Ocean as retaliation following a high-profile case of sexual misconduct by her superior. Working alongside Corporals Beaver Baker and Rahul Shah in the station's command center, she is part of America's last line of defense against hostile nuclear weapons following the hostile takeover of Fort Greely.
The station is infiltrated by operatives led by ex-military intelligence soldier Alexander Kessel and kill the base commander and personnel, sparing only Collins, Shah, and an unconscious Baker. The infiltrators attempt to enter the command center where the survivors are, planning to disarm the interceptor system and leave the U.S. open to attack by the sixteen stolen warheads. An operative penetrates the center through a floor hatch but is killed by Collins and Shah. Baker regains consciousness and reveals himself to be an inside man motivated by a big payday and xenophobia. Holding Collins and Shah at gunpoint, the remaining operatives enter and assume control. Kessel hijacks a live feed to stream his manifesto about the failures in the history of the United States, names sixteen American cities to be destroyed (which includes Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.), and instructs their terrorist faction to launch the attack. Collins breaks free of confinement and locks Kessel, Baker, and a henchman out of the command center, and kills Kira and another henchman.
Kessel provides a stream feed of Collins' father being tortured, but she refuses to surrender and her father is apparently killed when the transmission is cut. Unable to take control of the station, Kessel scuttles it to prevent it from defeating the nuclear strike. As the station begins to sink, Shah drops through the floor hatch to the ocean and manually re-engages the station's hatches and is killed by Baker. Collins hides while the terrorists disable the seemingly empty center. Baker ascends to the station's roof to find and eliminate her, and she stealthily dispatches the remaining henchman in the command center as Kessel flees. She carries a laptop to the roof to manually launch the interceptor missiles, and kills Baker in hand-to-hand combat.
Kessel finds Collins as she launches the interceptor missiles just in time to intercept the warheads. Collins subdues him just as a Russian submarine arrives to rendezvous with the terrorists. Two Russians emerge from the conning tower and shoot Kessel, killing him. The Russian captain salutes Collins before departing.
Collins recovers from her ordeal in a hospital, promoted by the U.S. president personally for her efforts. Her father, rescued by friends who had witnessed his plight on the live broadcast, comforts her.
In addition, Mark Dessaix plays the dismissive game theory strategist advising the President, while Chris Hemsworth appears in an uncredited cameo as the laid-back salesman at a big box consumer electronics store.
