Extraction, this movie is a shame for Bangladesh, Extraction is a 2020 American action thriller movie directed by Sam Hargrave in his feature debut and screenplay by Joe Russo, based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando Leon Gonzalez, and Eric Skillman.[2] The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Rudraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani, Pankaj Tripathi, Priyanshu Painyuli and David Harbour. The plot follows a black ops mercenary who must rescue an Indian drug lord's kidnapped son in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The film was released on April 24, 2020, by Netflix. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of Hemsworth and Hooda and the stunt work but lamented the weak story and excessive violence.

Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), a black-market mercenary and former Australian Special Air Service Regiment soldier, is recruited by fellow mercenary Nik Khan (Golshifteh Farahani) to rescue Ovi Mahajan Jr. (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), the son of India's biggest drug lord Ovi Mahajan Sr. (Pankaj Tripathi), from Dhaka, Bangladesh because he is held for ransom by Bangladesh's biggest drug lord, Amir Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli).

Whilst Rake is in the process of extracting Ovi from his kidnappers, Saju (Randeep Hooda), a former Special Forces soldier and Ovi's father's chief henchman, kills Rake's teammates and attempts to bring the boy back, doing so in fear of his family being killed and in order to avoid paying the substantial ransom money, which neither he nor Ovi's currently incarcerated father can afford. Elsewhere, Asif calls for an immediate lockdown of Dhaka.

After escaping Saju and the corrupt police and elite force, both of which are controlled by Asif — Rake and Ovi encounter Farhad, a boy who wants to prove himself to Amir by killing Rake, and his gang of youngsters. Rake fights off but does not kill the boys. They are later picked up by Gaspar, an old friend and retired former squadmate of Rake's living in Dhaka. Taking the pair to his home, he and Rake catch up before Gaspar leaves and Rake takes food upstairs to Ovi. The two talk about Rake's six-year-old son who died of lymphoma. When Gaspar returns home, he reveals there is a ten million dollar reward for Ovi's death; all Rake has to do to receive an equal share of the money is to let Gaspar kill Ovi. He and Rake fight, during which Gaspar drops his gun. Gaspar is about to stab Rake when he is interrupted by Ovi who has picked up the fallen gun. Gaspar charges Ovi but is shot twice and dies.

Rake phones Saju and asks for his help, forcing them to team up against the police and elite force in order to escape Dhaka. Rake draws attention away from Saju and Ovi as the two make their way through a bridge checkpoint. Rake makes his way back towards the bridge along with Khan's extraction team of mercenaries as Asif watches from afar. During the ensuing firefight, Saju is sniped by Asif's colonel who is then in turn sniped by Khan.
