LAS VEGAS, NV — (August 6, 2026) — A retired spy catcher, a stolen biological weapon, ruthless assassins and a suspected mole buried inside MI5 — Knightfall (2026) is loading up all the ingredients of an old-school espionage thriller with a modern action edge.
Saban Films and Shogun Films have revealed the official trailer for Knightfall, starring veteran British actor Ian Ogilvy as Charles Knight, an infamous former spy catcher whose quiet retirement comes crashing down when his estranged scientist daughter becomes the target of deadly killers.

Directed by Ben Fortune and produced by Jonathan Sothcott through Shogun Films, Knightfall is scheduled to make its Digital debut on September 11, 2026.
And judging by the trailer, retirement is about to become the least of Charles Knight’s problems.
Knightfall Throws Ian Ogilvy Back Into the Spy Game
At the center of Knightfall is Charles Knight, a retired intelligence operative who thought his dangerous career was behind him.
Then his daughter Ros becomes a target.
The scientist possesses the only key capable of unlocking a stolen briefcase containing a dangerous man-made biological agent — putting her directly in the crosshairs of killers determined to retrieve it.
Charles is suddenly forced back into the shadowy world he left behind, but this time the mission isn’t coming from an intelligence agency.
It’s personal.
The estranged father and daughter must survive long enough to uncover who’s hunting them while preventing the weapon from triggering a potentially catastrophic homeland security crisis.
There’s a Mole Inside MI5
Making matters worse, Charles suspects someone inside MI5 may be working against them.
That transforms Knightfall from a straightforward chase thriller into a story built around deception, compromised intelligence and the question every good spy movie eventually asks:
Who can you trust?
With professional killers closing in and the possibility that Britain’s own security establishment has been compromised, Charles and Ros are forced to rely on each other despite their fractured relationship.
That father-daughter dynamic could ultimately give Knightfall more emotional weight than the traditional retired-agent-pulled-back-into-action formula.
Ian Ogilvy Takes Center Stage
Ian Ogilvy leads the film as Charles Knight, giving the veteran actor a chance to command an action-spy thriller built around experience rather than another indestructible young operative.
Ogilvy is joined by Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott and Geoffrey Moore in the action thriller.
Behind the camera, director Ben Fortune works from a production spearheaded by Jonathan Sothcott and Shogun Films, with Saban Films handling the upcoming release.
The combination points toward a distinctly British espionage thriller wrapped inside the accessible action formula that has helped keep retired-agent movies popular with audiences.
Knightfall Mixes Espionage With Biological Threat
The stolen briefcase provides the ticking clock.
Inside is a dangerous man-made biological agent capable of turning an intelligence operation into a national security emergency.
Ros possesses the key.
The killers want it.
Charles has to keep her alive.
But if his suspicions about an MI5 mole prove correct, even the people supposedly protecting Britain could be part of the conspiracy.
It’s a simple setup with plenty of room for double-crosses, assassinations and old intelligence secrets to surface before the credits roll.
Knightfall Digital Release Set for September
Action-thriller fans won’t have long to wait.
Knightfall arrives on Digital September 11, 2026, giving Ian Ogilvy the spotlight as a veteran operative forced to prove that some spies never really retire.
With a deadly biological threat in play, assassins closing in and an apparent betrayal from within British intelligence, Charles Knight has one mission left to complete.
Protect his daughter. Find the mole. Stop the weapon.
