Storyline
Plot:
Matt Turner, a financier at Nanite Capital under his friend and CEO Anders Muller, lives in Berlin with his wife Heather and two children, Emily and Zach. While driving his kids to school, Matt receives a mangled call from an unknown number indicating there is a bomb under his seat, which was already armed. All chairs have pressure plates and a radio frequency to ignite explosives. He threatens to detonate the gadget if Matt seeks help. Matt must follow the bomber's directions after finding the device to live.
As his girlfriend flees, Matt's client and bomb threat receiver Sylvain is killed in an explosion. The bomber orders Matt to contact Heather and bring €50,000 from his bank safety deposit box. After Heather discovers it, the bomber orders her to give the money to a blue-suited man. She contacts police, who arrest him.
Matt tries to convince Europol agent Angela Brickmann he's innocent and wants mobile signal blocking to prevent the remote trigger. Matt and Anders had €208 million customer slush money in Matt's Dubai bank "emergency collateral account" according to the bomber. Matt meets Anders in a power plant. Matt instructs Anders to eliminate collateral when the bomber comes. Anders reluctantly agrees, but the bomber orders Matt to kill him with a revolver to save his family. Matt refuses, and the bomber blasts Anders's car, hurting Emily's leg.
They surround Matt following a police chase with Angela and Heather. After finding the pressure plate under Matt's seat, the bomb squad rescues Zach and Emily, who is treated for injuries. Angela suspects the bomb is related to the crime after interviewing Matt. Matt flees the police after saying farewell to Heather and drives to find the bomber. Matthew demands the bomber see him for money.
Always the bomber, Anders. Anders wanted Matt to blame for the explosions to hide his €208 million crypto account theft. Matt deliberately crashes into a bridge to end this. After releasing his seat belt and igniting the explosives, Matt falls into the river, killing Anders. Angela nods and releases Matt as the police arrive.
In the credits, news headlines suggest Anders stole the explosives, and Matt helps Europol solve the crime.
