Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Karl Urban carry a swashbuckling pirate epic on their adroit shoulders, sweeping over histories and seas in The Bluff. An oceanic saga touted to marry the tempestuous blue roar with the muted pangs of past ghosts, the film descends to the screens worldwide. With characters battling for their lost existence, the film digs deep into the heart of life, instead of just dwelling on treasures. 

All that glitters in this movie is more than gold, from the cast and plot to the execution of the gritty voyage, making it a visceral entry in the adventure/action thriller horizon of cinematic excellence.

Anchored by some of the most compelling cast and crew, The Bluff has peaked in their pre-production even before release, skyrocketing anticipation. Setting sail with Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Karl Urban taking the wheel, the pirate thriller features supporting actors Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Vedanten Naidoo, and Temuera Morrison, who breathe life into the story through their crowd-pulling performances.

Chopra-Jonas plays Ercell Bloody Mary Bodden, a role that previously went to Zoe Saldaña in 2021. Mary is a former pirate who now lives a peaceful family life until her tranquil existence gets interrupted by external disruptive forces. Karl Urban's Captain Connor, who formerly served as a merciless ally, now turns into a ruthless adversary.

Haven director Frank E. Flowers helms the film, which AGBO led by Avengers fame Joe and Anthony Russo, along with Cinestar Pictures and Chopra-Jonas' Purple Pebble Pictures have produced with a screenplay from Flowers and Joe Ballarini. The creative team uses Henry Jackman's music and Greg Baldi's cinematography to transport viewers into a beautiful yet brutal Caribbean landscape.

A string of firearms and gritty action sequences waltz throughout the movie, making it irresistibly eye-catching as the savage rhythms of combat and survival haunt the plot.

The Bluff takes place during the late 19th century in the Caribbean. It presents Ercell Bodden as a pirate who abandons her previous life to lead a rather tranquil family life; however, the silence heralds a storm. She must return to battle after old betrayals and past conflicts begin to emerge. The protagonist must rely on all her skills from her pirate days to save her family while dealing with dangerous foes and the emotional consequences of her past.

The Bluff opened at TCL Chinese Theater on February 17, 2026, before receiving its global premiere through Amazon Prime Video on February 25, 2026. The film provides global access to its content through multiple language options, which include dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. Wait no more, as the fun action flick has already amassed more than average reviews, enough to entertain pirate adventure fans waiting to watch Captain Jack Sparrow back in action, for an evening with a solid runtime of 101 minutes.
