Viola Davis Kick Serious Butt as POTUS in Prime Video’s “G20” — You’ve Never Seen Her Like This
Oscar-winner Viola Davis is trading in legal battles for high-stakes warfare in “G20“, Prime Video’s pulse-pounding action thriller out today. In a bold and gripping turn, Davis stars as U.S. President Danielle Sutton, who’s forced to fight her way through a deadly international crisis when the world’s most powerful economic summit falls under siege.
“G20” Premise
In “G20”, what begins as a routine diplomatic event quickly spirals into chaos when an elite terrorist group hijacks the summit. President Sutton, attending with her family—played by Black-ish alums Anthony Anderson and Marsai Martin—must separate from her loved ones as danger closes in and the summit becomes a war zone. The terrorists’ master plan, codenamed “Project Deepfake,” threatens to destabilize global economies and upend the world order.
Alone, cut off from support, and underestimated by her enemies, Sutton draws on her instincts and training to take the fight to the terrorists—proving she’s not just a politician, but a warrior with everything to lose.
And make no mistake—Davis brings the heat. In the heart-stopping movie, she’s seen dodging bullets, dismantling foes, and even using everyday objects (including a frying pan!) as weapons in her fight for justice. The message is clear: President Sutton didn’t come to negotiate with terrorists—she came to shut them down.
“G20” Star Studded Cast
The explosive action is matched by a stellar supporting cast, including Ramón Rodríguez (“Will Trent”), Douglas Hodge (“Joker”), Elizabeth Marvel (“Lincoln”), Sabrina Impacciatore (“The White Lotus), Christopher Farrar (“Kindred”), and Antony Starr (“The Boys”). Starr plays Rutledge, the sinister mind behind the attack, whose chilling declaration—“We will reset the world’s financial markets”—sets the tone for the global stakes at play.
Viola Davis: From EGOT Winner to Full-On Action Star
“G20” drops just months after Davis received the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, cementing her place as one of Hollywood’s most accomplished talents. Reflecting on her journey during her speech, Davis said, “They say the only two people you owe anything to are your six-year-old self and your 80-year-old self.” That inner six-year-old? She’d be cheering for this fierce, fearless version of Davis.
One thing’s certain: “G20” isn’t your typical presidential drama. It’s a high-octane, globally charged thriller led by one of the greatest actors of our time—now stepping into full action-hero mode. With bullets flying, stakes soaring, and Viola Davis at the center of it all, G20 promises a political thriller that’s anything but conventional. Clear your schedule. This is one fight you won’t want to miss. “G20” is streaming now on Prime Video.
