Vertigo Pictures has revealed that on Friday 28 July, action packed thriller STRATTON, based on the hugely popular series of books by ex-Special Boat Service agent Duncan Falconer, will storm into cinemas across the UK and Ireland.Â
Dominic Cooper (AMC’S Preacher, Fleming, Mamma Mia!) appears in the title role, in the film directed by Simon West (Con Air, The Expendables 2).

Whilst on a mission targeting a laboratory manufacturing biochemical weapons in Iran, Stratton (Cooper), a determined and dedicated SBS operative working alongside MI5, and his US counterpart, Navy Seal Marty (Hoechlin) discover that their operation has been compromised and must escape. In the mayhem that follows, the mission goes spectacularly wrong and Marty is mortally wounded.
Back at base Stratton is summoned by the big boss at MI6.  She has received intel that a former Soviet operative – Barovski – has gone rogue.  Thought to be dead for the last 20 years, it is believed Barovski has plans to take revenge on his former paymasters by using stolen chemical weapons.
From here on in, Stratton and his team must draw on all their training and experience to race against time and stop the unimaginable happening.
