Starring Kelsey Grammer, Thomas Jane and Adam Copeland, Money Plane, is an all-action, mile-high thriller, in which a professional thief attempts a heist on an airborne casino filled with the world’s most dangerous criminals.
Finally, Pharaoh’s War (2019), from Premiere Entertainment, is a modern war thriller starring Icelandic strongman Hafthor Julius Bjornsson (Game of Thrones’ Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane) and featuring comeback king Mike Tyson as a military man battling mercenaries in the Egyptian desert.
