Fans of action-packed thrillers are in for a treat with Armor. This intense, heart-pounding film stars Sylvester Stallone as James Brody, an armored truck security guard on a routine job transporting millions with his son, Casey. However, the job turns deadly when a team of thieves led by Rook (Jason Patric) takes over the truck, forcing them into a standoff on a decrepit bridge.
As the truck dangles precariously over the water below, James must use every skill he has to protect his son and secure the stolen fortune. With a gripping storyline, thrilling car chases, and suspense that keeps building, Armor offers an unforgettable cinematic experience for action fans.

Set against the backdrop of Thailand’s traumatic WWII involvement, the film follows a Japanese-engineered chemical weapon that resurrects soldiers with terrifying strength and unquenchable hunger.
Starring Chanon Santinatornkul, Awat Ratanapintha, and Supitcha Sangkhachinda, Operation Undead delivers an adrenaline-filled blend of historical drama, horror, and action. The film is a great pick for horror fans craving a unique twist on the undead genre, adding a historical layer that amplifies the sense of dread.
