South Africans can look forward to a new action thriller ‘Silverton Siege’ releasing this week.
Directed and created by Mandla Dube, the movie stars local talent including Thabo Rametsi, Noxolo Dlamini, and Stefan Erasmus.
Set in 1980, the film is inspired by the real-life incident that sparked the global “Free Mandela’ movement and sees Rametsi, Dlamini, and Erasmus portray the Silverton Siege trio.
Following a high-speed car chase with the police after a thwarted sabotage mission, the trio ends up seeking refuge in a South African bank in Silverton, Pretoria. Taking the bank and its customers hostage, and demanding the release of Nelson Mandela in exchange for the release of the prisoners, the stakes and tensions run high.
The film also stars Tumisho Masha, Michelle Mosalakae, and Elani Dekker.
Silverton Siege will release this week, Wednesday, April 27 on Netflix.
