The first Netflix movie Extraction became the streaming channel’s most successful Original movie to date. More than 99 million households streamed the movie, leading it to outshine the likes of 6 Underground, Bird Box and Murder Mystery.

In the sequel, Extraction 2, Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) has barely survived his grievous wounds from the Dhaka, Bangladesh mission, but his team is ready for their next mission. This time around, Tyler is tasked with extracting a family that is at the mercy of a Georgian gangster.

However, when the extraction gets too hot and the gangster dies in the battle, his equally ruthless brother tracks down Tyler and his team to Sydney, Australia, in order to get revenge.
