Get ready for a high-octane start to your 2026! The wait is almost over for the action-adventure epic The Bluff, which is exploding onto Prime Video globally this February.

This isn’t just another pirate movie; it’s a non-stop thrill ride that perfectly blends gritty history with modern cinematic energy. At its heart, it’s a powerful reminder of how far someone will go to protect the people they love.

A Face Off

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is taking on a role unlike anything she’s done before, delivering a fierce, physical performance as the complex heroine Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden. Ercell thought she had finally left her life of piracy behind for a peaceful existence with her husband and son. However, her tranquil life is shattered. A vengeful former captain, played by Karl Urban (The Boys), tracks her down to settle an old score. To save her family, Ercell reverts to the lethal warrior she once was.

A Talented Team

Director Frank E. Flowers, who co-wrote the script with Joe Ballarini, brings an incredible level of authenticity to the screen by filming in the stunning, real-world locations of the Cayman Islands. Action unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of the iconic Skull Cave and the towering bluffs of Cayman Brac. This setting adds a layer of realism, as Ercell wages a one-woman war against a merciless crew.

The film is produced by the powerhouse team at AGBO, including Anthony and Joe Russo—the creative minds behind massive hits like Avengers: Endgame and Extraction. Their involvement ensures that The Bluff delivers the same large-scale, high-concept storytelling and emotional depth.

With a stacked supporting cast including Safia Oakley-Green, Temuera Morrison, and Ismael Cruz Cordova, this adrenaline-fueled journey is a gritty tribute to survival, redemption, and the unstoppable strength of a mother’s love.

If Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ name sounds familiar, it should. Not only is she India’s highest-paid actress, but she also has the title of “Miss World” 2000. She’s also the wife of Nick Jonas.

Coming Soon

Get ready for brutal sword fights, stunning Cayman Island vistas, and a mother’s mission that will leave you breathless. The Bluff debuts on Prime Video on February 25, 2026.
