Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Travis Fimmel, Tuppence Middleton, Bella Heathcote and Bryan Brown all have supporting roles in actor Kick Gurry’s directorial debut, the “Tropic Thunder”-esque satirical comedy “C*A*U*G*H*T” which premieres on Australian streamer Stan on September 28th and on ITVX in the UK in October. Stan has now released both regular and red-band trailers.
The story begins when the Australian Minister of Defence (Erik Thomson) texts a ‘secret file’ to the Princess of Behati-Prinsloo, a small island nation, he sends four Australian soldiers (Gurry, Ben O’Toole, Lincoln Younes, and Alexander England) into the war-torn country on a secret mission to retrieve the file.
The soldiers are mistaken for Americans and quickly captured by freedom fighters (Fayssal Bazzi, Mel Jarnson and Dorian Nkono) who produce a hostage video that ends up going viral. This leads to the soldiers becoming unexpected online celebrities and they soon realise that being caught could be the best thing that has ever happened to them.
