Action thriller fans, mark your calendars! The Furious, the British heist film directed by David Mackenzie, has officially locked a new release date in India. PVR INOX Pictures confirmed that the film will now hit screens on June 19, moving from its earlier scheduled date of April 24.
The update comes straight from the distributors, who are clearly banking on the film’s unique premise. With a World War II bomb as the catalyst, The Furious promises edge-of-the-seat entertainment with a historical twist.
The New Date
Originally set for an April release, The Furious is now arriving in Indian cinemas this June. The producers shared their excitement about the shift, stating that the new release window allows them to showcase the film at its full potential. Industry insiders say the June slot is typically favorable for international action thrillers in India, giving the movie a strong chance at the box office.
“We are excited to bring The Furious to audiences on 19th June. We believe this new release date positions the film perfectly and allows us to present the movie at its full potential,” the producers said in a statement.
What’s The Furious About?
Set in central London, the story kicks off when an unexploded World War II bomb is discovered at a busy construction site. The discovery triggers a massive evacuation — and a criminal crew decides to use the chaos to pull off a daring bank heist. The screenplay comes from Ben Hopkins, who has crafted a tight narrative that blends historical danger with modern crime.
Mackenzie promises a thriller that keeps you hooked from start to finish. “The Furious is a story about urgency, courage and the unseen dangers that history can leave behind. It’s a thriller that keeps you invested from the first moment to the last,” the director said. Imagine a bustling London construction site suddenly becoming ground zero for a decades-old explosive — the evacuation creates a perfect smokescreen for a team of criminals looking to make a quick score.
Mackenzie previously directed the Oscar-nominated Hell or High Water and the gritty prison drama Starred Up. His latest had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025, where it received strong buzz from critics for its tight pacing and strong performances.
A Stellar Cast and Crew
The film boasts an impressive ensemble: Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Nocturnal Animals), Theo James (Divergent series), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (The Morning Show), and Sam Worthington (Avatar) lead the cast. Their combined star power adds serious weight to the project.
Behind the camera, Giles Nuttgens handles cinematography, Matt Mayer is on editing duties, and Tony Doogan composes the music. Produced by Anton and Sigma Films, The Furious is distributed in India by PVR INOX Pictures.
The film’s production values are top-notch, with Mackenzie’s signature style of tension and character-driven storytelling. The Toronto premiere already set the stage for high expectations, and the June release is expected to draw in both action fans and thriller enthusiasts.
Mark your calendars — The Furious races into Indian theatres on June 19, 2026. This is one heist you won’t want to miss.
