High-octane action met Hollywood glamour as Amazon MGM Studios hosted the world premiere of The Bluff at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre. The adrenaline-fueled action-adventure, directed by Frank E. Flowers, is set to premiere globally on Prime Video on February 25, 2026.
The star-studded evening brought together cast members Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Safia Oakley-Green, Temuera Morrison, Vedanten Naidoo, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Karl Urban, alongside the creative team and producers Anthony and Joe Russo. Following the screening, guests continued the celebration at Laya, where lively music and curated cuisine set the tone for an unforgettable after-party.
Among the special guests lighting up the red carpet were Vin Diesel, Sharon Stone, and Jay Shetty—a testament to the film’s industry buzz ahead of its streaming debut.
A Fierce Story of Survival and Redemption
At the heart of The Bluff is Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, portrayed by Priyanka Chopra Jonas in a commanding, physically transformative performance. Once a feared pirate, Ercell has retreated from her violent past, seeking peace in the Cayman Islands with her husband T.H. (Ismael Cruz Cordova), their son Isaac (Vedanten Naidoo), and her sister-in-law Elizabeth (Safia Oakley-Green).
But tranquility shatters when her former captain, Connor (Karl Urban), resurfaces with vengeance on his mind.
What follows is a relentless, high-stakes battle set against the dramatic cliffs and Skull Cave of Cayman Brac. Forced back into combat, Ercell must confront buried trauma, wield razor-sharp swordsmanship, and deploy cunning traps to protect her family. The narrative transforms into more than a fight for survival—it becomes a deeply personal journey of redemption, identity, and maternal strength.
Produced by Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco, Cisely Saldaña, Mariel Saldaña, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the film balances gritty action with emotional resonance. Written by Joe Ballarini and Frank E. Flowers, The Bluff delivers cinematic spectacle while exploring themes of loyalty, love, and the cost of freedom.
A Cinematic Experience Built for Streaming Impact
With a runtime of 101 minutes and an R rating for strong bloody violence, The Bluff positions itself as a bold addition to Prime Video’s growing slate of premium action originals. The film’s breathtaking island landscapes provide a visually immersive backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the intensity of its sword-fueled combat sequences.
Under Flowers’ direction, the story unfolds with raw energy—balancing explosive confrontations with intimate family moments that anchor the narrative. Priyanka Chopra Jonas commands the screen, embodying a warrior mother willing to sacrifice everything to shield those she loves.
