Plot Summary

Black Swans, a family-owned private military company led by American citizens William Lewis (Tom Wilkinson) and his adult children Grace (Ruby Rose) and Oliver (Owain Yeoman). Grace is the talented one and William's successor at the company. They were hired by SAS commander George Clements (Andy Serkis) to help a transnational gas pipeline clear through a remote village located at the fictional Gveli Pass in Georgia. Clements offers money to the villagers to vacate the village, but when they resist, a massacre ensues. Grace makes the decision to kill all the men and boys and leave the women to spread the fear. Grace sets the entire village ablaze.Their atrocities were secretly filmed by a little girl who led them to receive red notices and they were accused of crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court demanded that the UK extradite the accused to the Hague to stand trial, because they live in North London. It turned out Prime Minister Atwood (Ray Panthaki) was behind Clements. Atwood knew that if William takes the stand he will mention Clements and then the road leads straight to Atwood. He secretly ordered Clements to kill William on the scene instead of arresting to cover up the link. William and Grace knew that SAS was going to move on them, but William refused to vacate the UK, his home. SAS plans the raid and kills many of Black Swan's operatives including Olivia (Caroline Boulton). Grace manages to escape before SAS operatives or Clements can get to her. Clements shoots William point blank.SAS operator, Tom Buckingham (Sam Heughan), who was at the "arrest" later takes his girlfriend, Dr. Sophie Hart (Hannah John-Kamen), on a romantic train journey from London to Paris where he intends to propose to her with his grandma's bequest, a ring that was said to be chopped off the finger of a Maharaja during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. But the remnants of the Black Swan led by Grace Lewis hijack their train while it is en route in the Channel Tunnel, taking all of the passengers on board hostage at gunpoint. Buckingham escapes from the train and uses his military skills to save the passengers, including his girlfriend, who is now among the hostages on board the train. Tom calls his unit friend in SAS Declan Smith (Tom Hopper) about spotting Grace on the train. But the SAS commander Major Bisset (Noel Clarke), seems to be a snitch for the Black Swan and relays his movements and position on the train to Grace. Grace takes over the pilot cabin and stops the train in the middle of the tunnel. Her team disables all cameras. Oliver reaches the team with the emergency response vehicles.Tom exits the train and manages to lock the attackers in the rescue tunnel. Grace blows the doors with an explosive, that shatters all windows on the train and spreads panic among the passengers. Declan orders Tom not to intervene, while a SAS team is dispatched to deal with the situation. Meanwhile the Black SWans seals the French side Tunnel and start drilling in the service tunnel from inside, up towards the ocean.. If the water gets in, it would flood the service tunnel.The SAS team sets up base on the other side of the sealed doors of the service tunnel.

Meanwhile Tom tries to get Sophie off the train, but she refuses to leave and uses her medical training to help the injured on the train. The SAS team enters the French tunnel and attacks the Black Swans in the rear carriage of the train. Only an attack from Oliver forces the SAS to withdraw who kill several black swans.

He finds the black swan operative rigging explosives to the pipeline and kills him, but the explosives are armed). Tom calls Declan and tells him about the gas pipeline and the explosives.
