Amazon MGM Studios’ submarine action film, Subversion, will star Chris Hemsworth.

Patrick Vollrath (7500) will direct from a script by Andrew Ferguson.

Di Bonaventura Pictures is producing.

The film follows a once-promising Naval commander (Hemsworth) who is blackmailed by a cartel-like operation into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters, thrusting him into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, outmaneuvering blockades, and navigating perilous threats both in and outside of the submarine.

The Hollywood Reporter first reported on Hemsworth involvement.
