Charlize Theron and the Aussie outback are the perfect mix for a thrilling action flick - then throw in Taron Egerton, and we are counting down the days before Apex hits our screens.
The Netflix movie sees the pair embark on a ruthless cat-and-mouse game set in the Australian wilderness. If there's anyone who can pull it off, it's the queen of action movies!
So, what do we know about the new thriller, described as a 'survivor story' by the film's director?
Apex sees Theron play Sasha, a grieving woman who seeks solace in the wilderness, only to find herself entangled in a deadly chase.
Taron Egerton plays a deadly serial killer who takes an interest in Sasha. The taxing movie is described as exploring themes of survival and emotional resilience.
'Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors in Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana is such a joy - even as I put them through the [ringer] in this unique survivor story,' the film's director, Baltasar Kormákur, told Tudum.
Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana all star in the action movie. The film is directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who is behind A Little Trip To Heaven.
Apex is produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready for Chernin Entertainment; Ian Bryce for Ian Bryce Productions; Theron, Beth Kono, and A.J. Dix for Secret Menu; and Kormákur for RVK Studios.
The film is executive-produced by Ray Angelic, Will McCance, and Dawn Olmstead for Secret Menu.
The movie is set against the rugged Australian landscape, which was intentional to match the film's intense plotline.
'For a film like Apex - where the elements and the terrain are characters that loom just as large as the movie stars battling in it - no other country in the world could have taken the place of Australia as our primary location,' Kormákur told Tudum.
'The unrivaled landscape, studio facilities, and talented crews in New South Wales have been a boon to this production. I want to thank the people of NSW, the NSW government, and the Australian Government’s Location Offset for all the support we’ve received in making this journey possible.'
We don't have long to wait before the film lands on our screens. Apex will hit Netflix on April 24, 2026.
