The film, which also stars Zachary Levi and Quincy Isaiah, is set partly in Iran, and has now got a release date confirmed. The Fix will officially arrive in cinemas on 11 September 2026.

The Fix, which has been directed by Guy Moshe and co-written by Moshe, Mark Bacci and Ron Hutchinson, follows Neeson's character Larry and Levi's character Tucker.

Along with a group of former CIA operators, they hope to pull off a daring rescue in the Iranian capital, Tehran, in order to redeem themselves after a failed Afghanistan mission.

The wider cast includes Wes Chatham, Jake Choi, Augusto Aguilera, Navid Negahban, Elnaaz Norouzi, Grant Harvey, Lara Wolf, Annet Mahendru and Titus Welliver.

The movie will be distributed by Inaugural Entertainment, with that company's founder and CEO Kevin Weisberg saying in a statement: "We are thrilled to bring The Fix to wide theatrical audiences as a cornerstone of our fall slate.

"Guy Moshe has crafted a propulsive, incredibly sophisticated action thriller that demands to be experienced on the big screen. Anchored by a powerhouse ensemble in Zachary Levi, Liam Neeson and Quincy Isaiah, the film seamlessly balances intense, edge-of-your-seat spectacle with real emotional stakes.

"It is precisely the kind of high-caliber cinematic event that we are proud to champion."

Meanwhile, Moshe said: "The Fix was born from a long-standing desire of mine to put audiences inside the chaos and moral weight of war, not just the action of it.

"Working with an ensemble cast that was entirely committed to our cause, led by Liam and Zac, who set the tone, allowed me to push the story into deeply human territory while still delivering the visceral, large-scale filmmaking this genre demands.

"I am thrilled to be working with Kevin and Inaugural on this, and can’t wait for audiences to experience it the way it’s meant to be seen — on the big screen."

Neeson was last seen in the sci-fi horror-comedy film Cold Storage earlier this year, while he also led last year's The Naked Gun.

The Fix will be released in cinemas on 11 September 2026.
