What's the story about?

Plot
A contemporary political thriller set in the Middle East and filled with suspense and intrigue, inspired by true events, and ripped from today's headlines. Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ, Person of Interest, Deja Vu) plays an American journalist/blogger who is kidnapped while attending a conference in the Middle East. Taken hostage by the Iranian regime, he is put on trial for trumped-up charges of espionage. His wife, who works for the State Department, quickly realizes that the American government can do nothing. Feeling desperate and alone, she goes to Iran to try to free him herself. This exciting story sheds light on the plight of Americans currently held captive in Iran, about whom the world has forgotten.

How can they mention Covid 19 in the movie when the virus was not out yet? Sep. 19, 2020

They never mentioned COVID-19, rather it was the novel coronavirus which was out at during that time. It’s not the same as COVID-19.

Sep. 20, 2020

The reference was clearly to COVID-19, as it discussed spread in the prison and the response. Coronaviruses have been around for a long time, but with only a couple of exceptions have never received the attention or response given to COVID-19. Likely this line was added during post production during 2020 to give the movie a contemporary feel.
