About Hard Kill

Hard Kill drops you into the world of Donovan Chalmers, a billionaire tech CEO who guards a priceless invention with heavy security. To keep his breakthrough from falling into the wrong hands, he deploys a private team of mercenaries whose mission is to shield the technology at all costs. When a ruthless terrorist organization learns what Chalmers has, it abducts his daughter to force his hand. What follows is a tight, high octane confrontation as Chalmers and his protectors race against time, contending with betrayals, improvised traps, and a fierce bid to save the day without compromising the mission. The chase blends close quarters combat with tech oriented cat and mouse, all under a ticking clock.

Released in 2020, Hard Kill was directed by Matt Eskandari from a screenplay by Nikolai From Clayton Haugen and Joe Russo, with Bruce Willis leading as Donovan Chalmers and a cast that includes Jesse Metcalfe and Natalie Eva Marie.

Box office figures show a limited release and modest performance, with a reported worldwide gross of 111,523 dollars, underscoring the movie's niche appeal rather than a wide commercial push.

Reception follows a familiar direct to video action thriller lane, focusing on corporate power and private security under pressure. The film hints at the tension between cutting edge tech and personal loyalty, keeping stakes high even as familiar beats surface.
