Kiefer Sutherland is the actor you want when a film or TV show falls under the action/thriller genre. Sutherland is a veteran with shows like 24, Designated Survivor, and Rabbit Hole under his belt. Next, the actor will be seen in Sierra Madre, a thriller film set in Mexico that finds a military squad engaged in combat with a murderous cartel when the latter invades a village. Sutherland plays Captain Jordan Wright in the film directed by Justin Chadwick. Sierra Madre is currently in production in Colombia. Read the official synopsis below.

"When Captain Jordan Wright (Sutherland) and his squadron are granted leave from their mission to attend a crewmate’s wedding in Mexico, festivities are interrupted by a cartel’s murderous descent on the small village. As Jordan attempts to lead his remaining men to safety, war breaks out between his squad and the cartel. Now under siege in the enemy’s deadly stronghold, Jordan has no other option but to engage in a full-scale battle to save the only family he has."
