The Union is a 2024 American spy action comedy thriller film directed by Julian Farino from a screenplay by Joe Barton and David Guggenheim.
The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Halle Berry, Mike Colter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Alice Lee, Jackie Earle Haley, and J. K. Simmons.
As the story unfolds, the rekindled relationship between Mike and Roxanne adds layers of romantic tension and humor to the intense action, creating a blend of espionage, comedy, and romance.
Mike, an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances, must navigate the dangerous world of international intrigue alongside Roxanne, culminating in a thrilling and unpredictable journey.
In desperate need of a fresh face, they turn to Mike, a "nobody," for a critical mission to retrieve government intelligence about law enforcement agents in various agencies.
He is given another identity, undergoes psychological tests, is trained in hand-to-hand combat and sharpshooting, all while trying to keep up with the highly skilled Roxanne.
Sent by The Union with five million to buy an opportunity to bid at the intel auction, Mike is immediately ambushed by who they believe is another interested party.
Tom bids with CIA money, while Foreman works on tracing Quinn's location and Rox and Mike speed to reach her.
