What to expect from Afterburn?

Relased in August 2025, the movie blends sci-fi elements with adventure, thrills, high-octane actions, along with some comical moments to ease down the seriousness of the storyline. Afterburn even achieved an R-rating due to its extreme bloody violence and foul language. The tone of the movie is described as a fun action flick that reminisces the 1980s and 1990s Hollywood action entertainers, focusing on the spectacle than an emotional story.

Afterburn begins a decade after a massive solar flare decimated the Earth's technology and pushed the Eastern Hemisphere into chaos. The world has turned into a lawless wasteland, where Jake is a former US soldier who turns into a treasure hunter. He makes his living by recovering priceless artifacts.

A powerful and wealthy individual named August Valentine (Samuel L Jackson), who's a self-proclaim 'King of England', hires Jake for a critical mission to travel to France and recover the famous painting Mona Lisa and bring it back to him, before a rival warlord General Volkov can get his hands on it. Jake teams up with Drea (Olga Kurylenko), a member of a local rebellion, to complete the dangerous mission.
