A war veteran spending some quality time with his little sister is forced to reckon with his past when armed militants take an entire bridge full of civilians hostage during a crowded Boston commute. As he relies on his elite military training, the former army ranger battles not only the hostage keepers but his traumatic wartime memories. Directed by Patrick Lussier (Play Dead) and written by Nathan Graham Davis (Cactus Jack), the 2024 movie Aftermath stars Dylan Sprouse, Megan Stott, and Dichen Lachman.

What happens in Aftermath?
