Meet the cast of Fuze

In the heart of London, a bustling construction site uncovers a hidden relic of the past: an unexploded World War II bomb. This sudden discovery sends shockwaves through the city, as the potential danger of the device becomes immediately apparent to both the workers and nearby residents. The historical artifact, dormant for decades beneath the urban landscape, now poses a severe threat that demands urgent attention.

As news spreads, emergency services rapidly spring into action. The military and police coordinate a large-scale evacuation, determined to ensure public safety while dealing with the precarious countdown to possible detonation. Tensions rise as officials navigate the logistical challenges of clearing the area, managing frightened citizens, and assessing the bomb's condition under immense time pressure.

Amidst the chaos, personal stories unfold—residents forced from their homes, first responders risking their lives, and experts working tirelessly to defuse the deadly ordnance. "Fuze" explores the human drama wrapped around this historic and potentially catastrophic event, highlighting courage, community resilience, and the lingering shadows of history beneath modern city life.

Critics' Reviews

Where this film succeeds is in its fast-cutting tension, evoking the grittiness and violence of a 1970s heist flick. The opening hour, which keeps things contained to a literal ticking time bomb, a tense bank job, and the law enforcement overseeing it all, feel like the film’s strongest suit. It's almost a shame it doesn’t keep that energy going. Still, Mackenzie’s direction is solidly edgy, continuing the mood he developed so successfully in Relay.
