‘Valiant One:’ Lana Condor & Chase Stokes Thriller Heads To AFM With Film Bridge 

EXCLUSIVE: Film Bridge International has acquired international rights to the action thriller Valiant One and will be selling the film at the upcoming American Film Market.

Steve Barnett directs the flick in his feature debut. Starring are Chase Stokes (Outer Banks) and Lana Condor (To All the Boys franchise). The story follows a routine mission that goes awry when a U.S. Army helicopter crashes deep within North Korean territory. Now, a team of non-combat tech specialists, led by Captain Edward Brockman, must navigate the hostile terrain and fend off North Korean forces as they desperately race to escort a civilian tech specialist across the treacherous Demilitarized Zone.

Briarcliff Entertainment will release the film in the U.S. on January 31, 2025.

The film is produced by Bernie Goldmann (300) and Alan Powell, and executive produced by Vicky Patel. Stokes served as co-executive producer. Written by Barnett and Eric Tipton with counsel from former members of the U.S. Military, CIA, and Department of Defense, Valiant One also stars Desmin Borges (Only Murders in the Building) and Callan Mulvey (The Grey Man). 

“Valiant One is a universal story of courage under fire and resilience,” said the FBI’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “We are very excited to show our buyers at AFM this heroic survival story with first-class production value.”

Stokes is repped by UTA, People Store, Luber Roklin Entertainment, and Goodman, Genow, and Schenkman.
