COLD STORAGE (2026): Cast, Plot, Trailer, Release Date & Streaming – Liam Neeson Battles a Deadly Fungal Outbreak 🦠🔫

COLD STORAGE (2026): Liam Neeson, Joe Keery & Georgina Campbell Face Off Against a Fungal Apocalypse 🦠🔫🍿

"It started as a routine night shift... then the world began to melt."

Get ready for the wildest, most chaotic survival story of the year as COLD STORAGE, the upcoming 2026 action-thriller, unleashes a mutating, world-ending microorganism and pits it against an unlikely trio: a grizzled operative, a rookie tech, and a scientist racing against time.

Directed by Jonny Campbell and written by the legendary David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man, Mission: Impossible), Cold Storage blends science fiction horror, infectious thrills, and dark comedy, promising a blockbuster thrill ride that’s both terrifying and wildly entertaining.

🧬 Plot: Fungus Among Us

When a highly contagious and rapidly mutating fungus escapes from a secret, sealed government facility, all hell breaks loose. What was once a controlled biohazard now begins devouring and corrupting everything in its path, spreading faster than it can be contained.

Two young employees, caught in the middle of this disaster, must survive the night inside the lockdown zone—until they cross paths with Robert Quinn (Liam Neeson), a veteran bioterror operative who knows this microbe’s history all too well.

What follows is a claustrophobic, adrenaline-fueled, and deeply unpredictable race to quarantine the uncontainable, with humanity’s fate hanging by a thread. Think The Last of Us meets Zombieland—with a side of Jurassic Park-style science run amok.
