Kiefer Sutherland, widely known for his role as Jack Bauer in 24, is set to star in the new action-packed thriller Sierra Madre. Directed by Justin Chadwick (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), the film begins production this fall in Colombia. Written by Ian McKenzie Jeffers (The Grey) and Delbert Hancock, Sierra Madre promises intense action and high stakes.
In Sierra Madre, Sutherland portrays Captain Jordan Wright, who must unite his squadron to combat a powerful cartel during a crewmate’s wedding. The team is tasked with protecting themselves and the village under the cartel’s control. This role naturally fits Sutherland, who excels in intense, action-driven characters. Sutherland described the film as “a compelling thriller with great emotional and dramatic opportunities.”
Highland Film Group is co-financing the film and handling worldwide distribution. Highland’s CEO Arianne Fraser and COO Delphine Perrier expressed their enthusiasm:
“We are delighted to be working with Kiefer Sutherland on this heart-pounding actioner. He will capture the intensity and physicality of a lead fighting to keep his squad alive, embodying the spirit of brotherhood that pulsates throughout this story.”
“Set in the exotic and remote landscape of Mexico, Sierra Madre shows a poignant narrative of heart and heroism. With Justin Chadwick at the helm, known for his skill in directing talent and his performance-driven approach, we are eager to see his remarkable vision come to life.”
Other Upcoming Projects for Kiefer Sutherland
Beyond Sierra Madre, Kiefer Sutherland is also set to star in several exciting projects. He will appear in Juror #2, directed by Clint Eastwood and featuring Nicholas Hoult and Toni Colette. Sutherland is also slated to star in the revenge thriller Stone Cold Fox alongside Kiernan Shipka and Krysten Ritter.
While the Sierra Madre is expected to release in 2025, 2024 has already seen a variety of action thrillers. David Ayer’s The Beekeeper, starring Jason Statham, was released earlier this year. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s The Fall Guy are in theaters, offering a mystery/thriller element. Additionally, Dev Patel made his directorial debut with Monkey Man, produced by Jordan Peele.
