What is SAS: Rise of the Black Swan about?

SAS: Rise of the Black Swan comes to Netflix at the end of the week. It stars Sam Heughan, and you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve seen it before under a different name.

If you noticed Sam Heughan was in a movie on Netflix, there’s no doubt that you immediately got excited. Another movie that we didn’t hear anything about?

Well, it turns out that SAS: Rise of the Black Swan is a movie many have already seen. You’ve likely even got it on DVD and Blu-ray, but it will be under a different name. You’ll know it as SAS: Red Notice.

Movies change their titles sometimes. Just look at Ford vs. Ferrari with Caitriona Balfe. It is known as Le Mans 66 in some parts of the world. The title changes are linked to legal problems, translations, or just titles that parts of the world think will sound better for local audiences.

What is SAS: Rise of the Black Swan about?

The movie is the same as SAS: Red Notice. This movie puts Heughan in front and center as a leading man in the action world.

He plays a SAS soldier, who is on a the Chunnel to Paris with his girlfriend. All he wants is to enjoy a vacation with his girlfriend and propose to her in one of the most romantic locations around the world. However, there are people who have other ideas.

Ruby Rose stars as Grace Lewis, a woman in charge of a team of criminals on the Chunnel. They’re there to hijack the train, but when Heughan’s Tom finds that out, he is going to do everything he can to keep the passengers (and his girlfriend) safe. However, his team isn’t anywhere around, and he needs to get in touch with them to help take down the criminal organization.

SAS: Rise of the Black Swan is coming to Netflix on Friday, Aug. 27.
