🎬 Off the Grid (2025): Science Meets Survival in This Explosive Action Thriller

What happens when science falls into the wrong hands? You go off the grid—and you fight back.


"Off the Grid", the latest high-octane thriller from director Johnny Martin, blends genius-level intellect with unrelenting action. With a cast led by Josh Duhamel, Greg Kinnear, and Peter Stormare, this gripping, adrenaline-fueled film is set to explode onto screens June 27, 2025—in theaters, on demand, and digital.


đŸ§ đŸ’„ The Plot: Weaponizing the Wrong Man


A brilliant but reclusive scientist (Josh Duhamel) has developed a groundbreaking technology with the potential to change

the world—or destroy it. When a corrupt corporate powerhouse sets its sights on militarizing his invention, the scientist disappears, choosing exile over exploitation. But going off the grid doesn’t keep him safe for long.


The corporation sends in a heavily armed strike team to retrieve him, by any means necessary. What they don’t anticipate is that this isn't just a runaway researcher—he’s a master of both science and survival. Pushed to the edge, he transforms the wilderness into a battlefield and his intellect into a weapon.


“They tried to control the science. Instead, they unleashed the man behind it.”


⭐ Star-Studded Cast

  • Josh Duhamel as the off-grid genius with a deadly plan

  • Greg Kinnear as a conflicted insider tied to the corporation

  • Peter Stormare as Belcor, a ruthless mercenary with no moral compass

  • MarĂ­a Elisa Camargo as Josey, an ally—or maybe more

  • Michael Zapesotsky as Chase, a member of the strike team

  • Ana Golja, Michael Papajohn, Talia Asseraf, Ricky Russert, and Monya Tebji round out the ensemble


This cast brings gravitas, grit, and an emotional core to a film that could’ve been just another action romp. Instead, Off the Grid is shaping up to be a thinking person’s action movie—raw, relentless, and relevant.

🚹 Final Word


Off the Grid promises to be this summer’s surprise action hit—a story where brain and brawn collide, and where the greatest threat isn’t technology, but the people who seek to control it. If you're a fan of survival thrillers like The Fugitive, The Bourne Identity, or Rambo with a dash of Ex Machina-style philosophy, this one’s for you.


Watch the trailer now and mark your calendars — June 27, the grid goes dark.
