The plot, written by Joe Russo, follows a disillusioned mercenary played by Chris Hemsworth as he embarks on a risky mission to transport a kidnapped boy out of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Along the way, they build a bond, and the mercenary becomes a protector. Based on the comic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González, and Eric Skillman, 'Extraction' earned mixed reviews from reviewers but was a huge hit with consumers, becoming one of Netflix's most-watched original movies to date. Featuring dramatic action sequences and Hemsworth's riveting lead performance, combined with Hargrave's inventive camera work, 'Extraction' delivers gritty and brutal thrills that will have audiences on the edge of their seats.
