The Engineer – Watch Emile Hirsch in the trailer for the new action-thriller

In the vein of “Homeland” and “Fauda” comes this pulse-pounding action-thriller based on true events and starring Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Tzahi Halevi (Bethlehem).

As Israel is rocked by a series of terrorist bombings, a U.S. senator’s daughter is killed in a bloody explosion. Now, ex-Mossad agent Etan (Hirsch) must lead an elite, covert team of agents and mercenaries to find the man responsible — the elusive “Engineer.” Can they find and destroy the madman before more innocent lives are lost?

Directed by Danny A. Abeckaser, The Engineer hits US cinemas, on demand, Blu-ray, DVD and digital August 18 from Lionsgate.
