In a summer already packed with sequels and franchises, Heads of State brings a breath of fresh cinematic air. Helmed by Nobody director Ilya Naishuller, the film features a stellar cast headlined by John Cena and Idris Elba as mismatched agents forced into an uneasy alliance. Priyanka Chopra Jonas adds serious firepower as a highly skilled MI6 officer who may be the smartest person in the room.
Set across international backdrops from Berlin to Bangkok, the story kicks off when a covert intelligence leak threatens to trigger a global diplomatic crisis. Elba plays a battle-hardened British operative, all grit and restraint, while Cena’s character brings his signature mix of brawn and bumbling bravado. Chopra Jonas, as the cool-headed Agent Zoya, is tasked with managing this volatile duo while uncovering a web of treachery that runs deeper than they imagined.
What sets Heads of State apart is its commitment to character-driven action. There’s chemistry and comedic friction between Cena and Elba, and Chopra grounds their antics with precision and control. She’s not a sidekick—she’s the linchpin of the mission, and her fight choreography and screen presence are already earning praise from critics.

The humor is snappy without undercutting the stakes. Think Mission: Impossible meets The Nice Guys, with explosive set pieces, stylish direction, and a pulse-pounding original score. With smart dialogue, physical comedy, and a few well-placed surprises, the movie finds the sweet spot between espionage thriller and buddy comedy.
Behind the scenes, Naishuller’s direction is a highlight. His ability to balance tension and comedy—something he mastered in Nobody—keeps the energy high throughout. Meanwhile, Priyanka’s international star power and sharp action chops continue to elevate her as a true global action heroine.
Whether you're here for high-octane thrills, sharp comedy, or just to see three powerhouses share the screen, Heads of State is one of Prime Video’s boldest originals of the year.
