Directed by Julian Farino, the Netflix action-comedy The Union, starring Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry will premiere on August 16th.

It’s easy to lose track of people over time. How many of you have old friends, partners, even family members that you haven’t spoken to in years? Who knows what they could be up to? In the trailer for The Union, Mike (Mark Wahlberg) gets the opportunity to find out. When his high school ex-girlfriend, Roxanne (Halle Berry), re-enters his life, she’s had quite the career change. And soon, Mike is whisked off on a whirlwind adventure that turns his quiet working-class world upside down. The film premieres on Netflix on August 16th.

PREMISE

Mike (Wahlberg) is happy living a simple life as a construction worker in his native New Jersey –– until his long-lost high school sweetheart, Roxanne (Berry), shows up with more on her mind than romance. Knowing he’s the right man for the job, she recruits Mike on a dangerous intelligence mission in Europe that thrusts them back together into a world of spies and high-speed car chases, with sparks flying along the way.

MARK WAHLBERG QUOTE

“We always felt Roxanne had to be the love of this guy’s life; he stayed where he was because he was hoping that she would actually come back into his life somehow,” Wahlberg told Netflix. “They had a sort of forbidden high school relationship, and he’d do anything to make her smile and anything to make her happy and to never let her out of his sight again. That’s his entire motivation –– her smile.”

HALLE BERRY QUOTE

“The Union does the dirty work for the CIA and FBI,” Berry told Netflix. “When you really need the job done, you call in this group of people. They’re blue-collar workers, everyday average people who get plucked by The Union to be trained to shoot and do combat intelligence and tactical weaponry.”
