Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley is set to star in the upcoming action-thriller The Good Samaritan for Taken and Peppermint director Pierre Morel. The film is based on an original screenplay from Rambo: First Blood screenwriter Matthew Ian Cirulnick.

The synopsis reads: “When successful entrepreneur Dr. Rosalind Carver (Ridley) and her husband Matt rescue a wounded man drifting off the coast of Indonesia, they believe they’re saving a life – not stepping into a deadly conspiracy.

“Within hours, their yacht vanishes, Matt is abducted, and paradise turns into a trap. Hunted by pirates and imprisoned by corrupt officials, Rosalind’s only hope lies in Sean Fuller, a private military contractor whose motives are as mysterious as his past. Together, they must navigate a maze of deceit and violence in a land where no one can be trusted.”

Production is being lined up for spring 2026 in Brisbane, Australia on the Gold Coast.

Ridley, who portrayed Rey in the Star Wars franchise, recently starred in the London-set action-thriller Cleaner alongside Clive Owen from filmmaker Martin Campbell, and in Zak Hilditch’s survival thriller, We Bury The Dead.
