Kiefer Sutherland is back in familiar action territory with the 2026 thriller Brothers Under Fire.
The film has become a major success on Hulu after reaching the top of the platform’s most-watched movies chart.
Sutherland stars as Captain Jordan Wright, a veteran Army officer who travels to Mexico with members of his military unit.
The trip begins as a celebration after Alberto Castillo invites the squad to his wedding and asks Wright to serve as best man.
The situation quickly turns violent when a cartel member crashes the wedding and becomes involved in a deadly confrontation with the groom.
Cartel leader Baker responds by launching an attack against Wright and his team.
The soldiers must protect Alberto’s family while attempting to escape Mexico alive.
Delbert Hancock and Ian Mackenzie Jeffers wrote Brothers Under Fire.
Jeffers previously wrote The Grey, which also centered on an older action hero facing a dangerous fight for survival.
Justin Chadwick directed the film after previously working on Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and several British television series.
The movie has drawn comparisons to Long Gone Heroes because both stories feature American soldiers fighting their way out of a Latin American country.
Sutherland’s presence gives Brothers Under Fire an added appeal for viewers who remember his long-running role as Jack Bauer on 24.
FlixPatrol reportedly listed the movie at number two on Hulu’s film chart after it spent three consecutive days in the top position.
