Get ready for a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse—because the trailer for Relay is finally here, and it’s giving major high-stakes, sleek-in-a-suit energy. Directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water), the film stars Riz Ahmed as a cool, calculated “fixer” who operates in the shadows, brokering hush-hush deals between corrupt power players and the people ready to blow their secrets wide open.
But in true thriller fashion, things go sideways. Ahmed’s character lives by a strict set of rules (think Jason Bourne meets Olivia Pope), keeping his identity top-secret and emotions in check. That is, until Lily James enters the picture—playing a mysterious new client who isn’t just looking for a payout, but protection. Her life is on the line, and suddenly, our fixer’s rules don’t seem to matter anymore.
The trailer is a stylish dive into paranoia and power plays, featuring a stellar ensemble: Sam Worthington, Willa Fitzgerald, Matthew Maher, Mike Holt, and Eisa Davis round out a cast that looks ready to bring all the tension and twisty drama. Written by Justin Piasecki, the story promises sharp dialogue, shifting alliances, and at least a few “wait, WHAT just happened?” moments.
With its global conspiracy vibes, polished visuals, and a magnetic Riz Ahmed front and center, Relay is shaping up to be the kind of late-summer thriller that keeps you guessing till the last frame. Mark your calendars: the film hits theaters August 22, 2025—and if the trailer’s anything to go by, this one’s going to be a ride.
