Fuze is a 2026 British action thriller directed by David Mackenzie, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James. When a dormant World War II bomb surfaces beneath a packed London construction site, a desperate race against time forces military experts, police, and ordinary civilians into an impossible standoff at the heart of the city.
What is Fuze about?
Deep beneath a crowded construction zone in central London, workers unearth something no one anticipated: a live, unexploded bomb dating back to the Second World War. As authorities scramble to assess the danger, the surrounding streets must be cleared — a logistical nightmare in one of the world's most densely populated urban cores. The military's bomb disposal team moves in while police manage a sprawling mass evacuation, and every passing minute raises the stakes. Tensions fracture along lines of command, personal history, and divided loyalties as the team confronts a device that has waited decades to detonate. The clock does not wait for anyone to agree on a plan.
About the cast
David Mackenzie, whose previous work has spanned intense character-driven dramas and high-stakes thrillers, brings his stripped-down, pressure-cooker style to this London-set production. Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads as the bomb disposal specialist at the center of the crisis, with Theo James, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sam Worthington, and Elham Ehsas rounding out an ensemble that includes both established British talent and international screen presences.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking audiences in the diaspora, Fuze arrives as a lean, propulsive thriller with one of its supporting roles filled by Elham Ehsas, an actor familiar to international viewers from screen work that includes The Kite Runner and Homeland. The film's London setting — a city with a significant Iranian and Middle Eastern diaspora population — gives it an added layer of geographical resonance. Action thrillers built around real historical artifacts and urban catastrophe have long found enthusiastic audiences among Persian-speaking viewers abroad.
