Avery Graves is a skilled CIA agent. When her husband David is taken hostage by a cruel terrorist group led by Konrad Breznov, her whole world turns upside down. The kidnappers want Avery to steal the highly secret Canary Black file, which is a digital weapon that could destroy the world's infrastructure and cause a lot of damage.
But Avery doesn't know that the file is much more dangerous than she thought and that it will have bigger effects than she thought.

Kate Beckinsale's career
Holywood actress Kate Beckinsale was born in London on July 26, 1973. As the daughter of actors Richard Beckinsale and Judy Loe, Kate grew up fully submerged in the entertainment business.
In the early 1990s, she began her acting career while simultaneously pursuing her studies at the University of Oxford. Her early work in British period dramas, including Cold Comfort Farm and Emma, highlighted her natural ability for sophisticated characters.
Her career took a positive turn after her Hollywood breakthrough in Pearl Harbor (2001) and Serendipity (2001), both of which brought her global recognition.
However, her performance as Selene, the vampire warrior from the Underworld series (2003–present), set her as a top action star. Her range grew as she starred in films including Love & Friendship (2016), Van Helsing ( 2004), and Snow Angels (2007).
Canary Black is available to stream on Prime Video.
