CROSS (2024), the new Prime Video original thriller, we follow a gripping, dystopian narrative set in a near-future world on the brink of collapse. The trailer opens with a shot of a towering city skyline, cloaked in a dark, suffocating smog. Beneath the surface, society is divided into two warring factions: the elite who live in heavily fortified luxury and the oppressed masses struggling to survive in the deteriorating underbelly.
We’re quickly introduced to the protagonist, Agent Cross, a stoic yet morally conflicted figure played by a major star (unnamed in the trailer). Cross works for the “Order,” an authoritarian organization that keeps the city’s factions in check by any means necessary. Cross’s job? To eliminate dissidents and stop a growing underground rebellion. However, the trailer hints that Cross is beginning to question his role in maintaining this brutal regime.
The trailer’s pace picks up as Cross is assigned a new mission: track down and eliminate a highly dangerous rebel leader named Ivy, played by a mysterious, fierce actress. Ivy is responsible for orchestrating several attacks on the elite and is believed to have access to classified information that could topple the Order. But as Cross delves deeper into the mission, he uncovers a shocking conspiracy involving not just the rebels but the very people he works for.
Tension mounts as the trailer shifts into high gear, with intense action sequences: Cross is seen in close-quarters combat, brutal chase scenes through the grimy, neon-lit streets, and high-tech drones patrolling the skies. There’s a chilling moment where Cross faces off against Ivy, only for her to challenge his worldview, saying, “You’re just a pawn in their game, but you still have a choice.”
As Cross becomes entangled with the rebels, he begins to question everything he thought he knew. Is Ivy really a terrorist, or is she the key to exposing a much darker truth? The trailer builds up to a nail-biting final scene where Cross must make an impossible choice: stay loyal to the Order or join the fight to bring it down.
The trailer ends with a flash of the title CROSS, followed by a cryptic line: “What will you choose?” It leaves viewers on edge, eagerly anticipating a story filled with moral ambiguity, intense action, and political intrigue.
