PRISONER OF WAR (2025): Scott Adkins Unleashes Fury in a Brutal WWII Arena 🔥⛓️In Theaters & On Digital – September 19, 2025

🗣️ “If I fight... it’s for them, not for you.” — James Wright

Get ready for a war film like no other. “Prisoner of War”, starring the unstoppable Scott Adkins, is a visceral action-thriller that takes the horrors of World War II and turns them into a deadly fight for survival inside a Philippine POW camp. Directed by Louis Mandylor, the film drops into theaters and digital platforms on September 19, 2025, and it’s already making waves after its premiere at the Beverly Hills Film Festival earlier this year.

This isn’t just a war movie — it’s gladiator combat under fascist rule, driven by brotherhood, survival, and one man’s unwillingness to break.

🎬 Plot: War, Blood, and Survival

Set during the grim days of the Battle of Bataan, Prisoner of War tells the story of James Wright, a British SAS officer shot down and captured by the Japanese Imperial Army. He’s thrown into a nightmarish internment camp in the Philippines, where the prisoners are more than just captives — they’re the main attraction.

👊 Forced into brutal death matches for the entertainment of their captors, Wright finds himself in a living hell. But he isn’t just another soldier. He’s trained. Dangerous. And slowly becoming the only hope for the men imprisoned beside him.

💬 “They want blood? Let’s give them a war they’ll never forget.”
