Highland Film Group has released the first image of Protector, starring Milla Jovovich as Nikki, a former war hero who thought she’d left her violent past behind for a peaceful life with her daughter, Chloe.

In the film, Nikki’s quiet life is shattered when she wakes up in an abandoned factory, only to discover that Chloe has been kidnapped. After she quickly escapes, Nikki plunges into the city’s criminal underworld and in her quest to find Chloe. As she desperately searches for her daughter, she draws the attention of both the police and the military, shooting her to the top of the most wanted list. As she goes deeper, she uncovers a shocking truth that threatens everything she’s fighting for. In this high-stakes race against time, Nikki must find the strength she thought she left behind to restore the hero her daughter desperately needs.
