‘Interceptor’ is a story revolving around a collaborative and timed attack on the captain JJ Collins (Elsa Pataky) who is in charge of a remote nuclear missile interceptor base right in midst of the Pacific Ocean by Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey) and his team that threatens to endanger the ocean and the world. It is about JJ Collins using years of military experience in a race against time in order to stop them all from ending the world.

The official synopsis reads, “The tough and reality-bruised Captain JJ Collins (Elsa Pataky) finds herself in charge of a lone nuclear missile interceptor base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after she is wrongfully drummed out of her dream job at the Pentagon. When a simultaneous coordinated attack then threatens the base itself, Collins comes face-to-face with the charismatic yet crooked Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey), a former US military intelligence officer intent on carrying out an unthinkable plan. With only minutes on the clock, Collins must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise to determine who she can trust and stop Kessel and his covert mercenaries from completing their twisted and terrible mission”.
