Oscar and Emmy winner Viola Davis is set to produce and star in the action-thriller movie "G20", from Amazon Studios and MRC Film.

The movie sees terrorists overtake the G20 Summit, with American President Taylor Sutton (Davis) then bringing all her statecraft and military experience to defend her family, fellow leaders, and the world.

Filmmaker Patricia Riggen directed from a script by Noah and Logan Miller, with revisions by Caitlin Parrish and Erica Weiss.

Andrew Lazar is set to produce via Mad Chance, alongside Davis and Julius Tennon via JuVee Productions. 

"G20" was developed with MRC Film and will premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Davis is once again on the awards circuit this season with her lead role in Sony's war movie "The Woman King". 

The multi-hyphenate also recently reprised her DC role as Amanda Waller in Warner Bros.’ "Black Adam". 

Davis will next be seen in Prime Video’s untitled Nike drama from director Ben Affleck and Lionsgate’s "Hunger Games" prequel "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes".
