When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.
Countdown is a high-stakes thriller about a deadly app that predicts the exact moment of a person’s death. When Mia, a skeptical nurse, downloads the mysterious app as a joke, she receives a horrifying notification: she has only three days left to live.
At first, Mia dismisses the app’s prediction as a cruel prank. But as strange accidents and unexplained events start to surround her, she realizes the countdown is real—and unstoppable. Desperate to beat her fate, Mia races against time to uncover the origins of the app and find a way to stop the impending doom.
Along the way, she crosses paths with others whose own countdowns are ticking down, and together they must unravel a sinister conspiracy that connects the app to a dark, shadowy organization. As the clock ticks closer to zero, Mia must confront her fears, trust unlikely allies, and outsmart forces determined to see her die.
Countdown explores themes of fate versus free will, the power and danger of technology, and the human instinct to fight for survival. It poses a chilling question: if you knew the exact time of your death, how would you live your final days?
The film combines intense suspense with emotional depth, balancing heart-pounding moments with personal struggles. Dark, moody visuals and a ticking-clock score amplify the tension as the deadline approaches.
