Relentless is a 2026 American action film directed by Lance Tracy, set partly in El Salvador and starring Sydney Sweeney. The film follows one man's attempt to stay clean after prison, drawn into a dangerous confrontation he never sought, with a single day standing between him and a fresh start.
What is Relentless about?
Marcus, freshly released from prison after a long stretch, is determined to walk a straight line — get out of town, leave the past behind, and begin again somewhere no one knows his name. But his last day in the city pulls him into someone else's nightmare. A young woman trapped under the control of a violent gang crosses his path, and Marcus cannot look the other way. With hours counting down before he boards the bus that will carry him to his new life, he must navigate a brutal street world he swore he'd left forever. Every choice narrows his window. Every delay raises the stakes. The film builds its tension around that shrinking clock, asking what it really costs a person to do the right thing when the right thing might cost everything.
Cast & crew
Sydney Sweeney leads a cast that includes Elpidia Carrillo, Courtenay Taylor, Lauren Shaw, Peter Holden, Dondre Whitfield, Jake La Botz, and Mariana Novak. Director Lance Tracy grounds the film in a gritty, street-level register, drawing restrained performances from the ensemble and keeping the camera close to his actors throughout the film's tightly compressed single-day timeline.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Relentless speaks a language that travels well across cultures: the ex-convict trying to outrun his past, the moral weight of one decision, the city as both trap and maze. Iranian cinema has long explored redemption stories with this same moral seriousness, so the film's tone will feel familiar even in a foreign setting. The production was shot partly in El Salvador, lending the film an authentic texture rarely found in straight-to-streaming action. Relentless is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub, so you can watch entirely in your language without switching tracks or hunting for subtitles.
