Sky TV has dropped the first official trailer for Fuze, a UK action thriller hitting cinemas on April 3, 2026. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water, Starred Up, Outlaw King), the movie blends ticking-clock suspense with a high-stakes jewel heist, set against the chaos of a WWII bomb discovery in central London. With a cast led by Theo James, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Fuze aims to fuse adrenaline-fueled action with clever crime plotting.
The plot kicks off when a buried World War II bomb is unearthed on a busy London construction site. Military experts, led by Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Will, and police scramble to evacuate thousands of residents. Amid the evacuation chaos, a group of thieves, guided by diamond expert Karalis (Theo James), hides out in a basement to pull off a daring jewel heist. With the city on high alert and a bomb ticking down, the tension promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The ensemble cast also includes Sam Worthington, Elham Ehsas, and Honor Swinton Byrne, bringing a mix of action and character-driven drama to the film. From tense bomb-defusal sequences to high-stakes heist maneuvers, the story combines thriller, action, and crime elements into a single cinematic ride. Mackenzie’s knack for grounded, gritty storytelling sets the stage for a London-centric thrill that could be a highlight of the spring cinema season.
Written by Ben Hopkins (Marionette, In Search of Monsters), the screenplay weaves together the whodunnit nature of a jewel heist with the urgency of a ticking-time bomb, creating a layered suspense plot. The production team, including Gillian Berrie, Callum Grant, David Mackenzie, and Sébastien Raybaud, aims to balance large-scale action sequences with a tight, character-driven narrative.
While Fuze premiered at TIFF last year, it hasn’t announced a U.S. release date yet, keeping international audiences waiting. The trailer, however, has drawn mixed reactions — with some praising the cinematic tension but others calling it “erratic and hard to follow,” making it difficult to grasp the film’s full story. Despite this, anticipation is building for the April UK release.
With its mix of high-stakes thrills, clever crime, and David Mackenzie’s signature direction, Fuze could be one of the most intense UK thrillers of 2026. Fans of heist films and time-sensitive suspense will likely enjoy the chaotic London setting and the ticking-clock tension — even if the trailer doesn’t quite do it justice.
