Heads of State is directed by Ilya Naishuller (Nobody) from a screenplay written by Josh Appelbaum & André Nemec and Harrison Query.

The movie is executive produced by Elba, Cena, Marcus Viscidi, Josh Appelbaum, and André Nemec, with Peter Safran and John Rickard serving as producers.
“In the film, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke and U.S. President Will Derringer have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ ‘special relationship.’ But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary — who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces — they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other,” reads the official synopsis. “Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset, they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.”
