Oscar winner Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Lily James (Baby Driver), and Sam Worthington (Avatar) deliver electrifying performances in RELAY, a clever, paranoia-fuelled corporate espionage thriller set against the surveillance-soaked labyrinth of New York City. Directed by David Mackenzie (the brilliant mind behind Oscar-nominated Hell or High Water), this taut, cat-and-mouse thrill ride follows a reclusive middleman for would-be whistleblowers who seek to settle with crooked corporations. Ahmed stars as Tom, a world class "fixer" who specialises in brokering lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten their ruin. He keeps his identity a secret through meticulous planning and always follows an exacting set of rules. But when a message arrives one day from a potential client (James), needing his protection just to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change. Premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and later screening at Tribeca, RELAY has earned praise for its ingenious feats of misdirection, raven‑sharp tension, novel set pieces, and stylish execution. With a tense and twisty script by Justin Piasecki, RELAY stands tall among the great espionage thrillers of its time, while also paying homage to 1970s and 80s classics like ‘The Conversation’ and ‘Blow Out’.
