Extraction

Extraction is a 2020 American action-thriller film directed by Sam Hargrave, and written by Joe Russo, based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González, and Eric Skillman. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani, Pankaj Tripathi and David Harbour, and follows a black ops mercenary who must rescue an Indian drug lord's kidnapped son in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Plot
Tyler Rake, a black-market mercenary and former Australian Special Air Service Regiment soldier, is recruited by fellow mercenary Nik Khan to rescue Ovi Mahajan Jr., the son of India's incarcerated biggest drug lord Ovi Mahajan Sr., from Dhaka, Bangladesh where he is being held for ransom by Bangladesh's ruthless and powerful drug lord, Amir Asif, who holds a strong influence in Dhaka.

Whilst Rake is in the process of extracting Ovi from his kidnappers, Saju Rav, a former Indian Special Forces soldier and Ovi's father's chief henchman, kills Rake's teammates and attempts to bring the boy back himself. Saju does this in fear of his family being killed and in order to avoid paying the substantial ransom to Asif or the costs to Rake's team, neither which he nor Ovi's currently incarcerated father can afford. Elsewhere, Asif demands an immediate lockdown of Dhaka from the corrupt authorities which he controls.

After escaping Saju and the corrupt police and elite force, both of which are controlled by Asif, Rake and Ovi encounter Farhad, a boy who wants to prove himself to Asif by killing Rake, and his gang of youngsters. Rake fights off but does not kill the boys. They are later picked up by Gaspar, an old friend and retired former squadmate of Rake's living in Dhaka. Taking the pair to his home, he and Rake catch up before Gaspar leaves and Rake takes food upstairs to Ovi. The two talk about Rake's six-year-old son who died of lymphoma. When Gaspar returns home, he reveals there is a $10 million reward for Ovi's death; all Rake has to do to receive an equal share of the money is to let Gaspar kill Ovi. He and Rake fight, during which Gaspar drops his gun. Gaspar is about to stab Rake when he is interrupted by Ovi who has picked up the fallen gun. Gaspar charges at Ovi but is shot twice and dies.

Rake calls Saju and asks for his help, forcing them to team up against the police and elite force in order to escape Dhaka. Rake draws attention away from Saju and Ovi as the two make their way through a bridge checkpoint. Rake makes his way back towards the bridge along with Khan's extraction team of mercenaries as Asif watches from afar. During the ensuing firefight, Saju is sniped by Asif's colonel who is then in turn sniped by Khan. Rake continues to cover the extraction and is severely wounded in the shootout. He instructs Ovi to run toward an awaiting helicopter and continues firing with the intent to follow. Ovi watches alongside Khan as Rake makes his way toward the helicopter, only to be shot in the side of the neck by Farhad. Rake drags himself to the side of the bridge and falls over the barrier into the river, staying submerged to trick Farhad into thinking he was dead. Ovi, Khan and the extraction team escape to Mumbai.

Eight months later, Khan tracks down Asif and assassinates him. Ovi dives into his school's swimming pool and sees Rake watching over him as he surfaces.
