The case

The first details of the Sacrifice synopsis have already been revealed. Loosely inspired by the story of Joan of Arc, the film follows the adventures of Joan, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, a fiery young woman guided by a prophecy that only she can understand.

Her mission? To save the world from an impending disaster. With her students, she takes hostage three protagonists during a charity gala: Mike Tyler (Chris Evans), a movie star in search of redemption, Bracken (Vincent Cassel), the richest man in the world, and Katie ( Ambika Mod ), a young woman whose fortunes have definitely turned their backs on her.

Essentially, it is an action film with a central theme of climate change and environmental protection.

According to the official synopsis, “a lavish charity gala comes under attack by a violent group of radicals seeking to fulfill a prophecy.”

The film is being shot on behalf of the well-known subscription platform Netflix by Iconoclast, in collaboration with Gucci, Head Gear Films, Onassis Culture and the Athens Festival. Mid March Media and Film4 are co-financing the film, according to Deadline.
