Trigger Warning is a 2024 American action thriller film starring Jessica Alba as a skilled Special Forces officer who takes ownership of her father's bar shortly after he dies, and soon finds herself at odds with the violent gang running rampant in her hometown.
A highly skilled CIA military combatant and investigator, Parker, is on a mission in Syria with her friend Spider, when she is called by her ex-lover and the sheriff of her hometown, Jesse Swann, informing her that her father, Harry Calvo, has died in a mining accident.
They had managed to access an underground tunnel and start secretly funneling weapons out to sell them to arms dealers, funding Ezekiel's campaign and helping Jesse become sheriff.
After killing the lawyer, Jesse lets Ezekiel and Elvis into the holding cells, where they tie Parker up and beat her in an attempt to obtain the security footage from her bar.
Ghost, a Timothy McVeigh-esque domestic terrorist wanted for the murder of at least 37 Americans, has paid the Swanns hundreds of thousands of dollars in advance for stolen weapons, and they aren't delivered thanks to Parker's interference.
A month later, Parker and Spider are driving cross country to return to their CIA jobs when Mikey video calls, with an update on the advanced progress of work to rebuild and reopen Maria's.

[10] Benjamin Lee of The Guardian wrote, "It’s not quite enough to push the film into genuinely smart or noteworthy territory but it adds some punchy election year anger to Alba's inevitable and involving revenge mission".
[11] Jesse Hassenger of IGN wrote, "Trigger Warning mashes together three different types of pulpy thrillers, but it sometimes feels as if the Jessica Alba vehicle isn’t bothering to actually take the best of what it’s ripping off".
[12] Brian Lowry of CNN wrote, "Trigger Warning might not be packing anything unexpected in the chamber, but for those who come to it with the proper mind-set, the movie doesn’t wind up firing blanks either.
