About Movie:
Extraction is an American action thriller directed by Sam Hargrave in his feature debut, with a screenplay by Joe Russo.

Development of the film was announced in 2018, as the Russo Brothers aimed to adapt the 2014 graphic novel for the screen. While the film diverges in some aspects from the source material, the core narrative remains intact.
