12 Rounds -

From the director of "Die Hard 2" and the producer of "Speed" comes 12 ROUNDS, starring John Cena as New Orleans Police Detective Danny Fisher. When Fisher stops a brilliant thief, Miles, from getting away with a multi-million-dollar heist, the thief's girlfriend is accidentally killed. After escaping from prison, the criminal mastermind enacts his revenge, taunting Danny with a series of near-impossible puzzles and tasks ...12 rounds...that Danny must somehow complete to save the life of his fiancee.

Ranging from tests of intelligence to Sisyphean tasks of endurance, Miles keeps Danny guessing at every treacherous turn. Each new round sends Danny hurtling through the city at a breakneck pace. As Miles toys with Danny, innocent citizens are threatened. Automobiles, streetcars and ferryboats are transformed into potential weapons of mass destruction. With the violent rounds mounting, one wrong move may take the match closer to a deadly conclusion.

For John Cena, 12 ROUNDS is more than another role; it's his initiation into the rarified air of action movie star. Moreover, the film's Danny Fisher is the type of action hero that Cena enjoyed watching, as a fan of the genre. "The '80s was the era of the 'everyman' hero," Cena explains. "And there hasn't been that style of hero since then. Guys like Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard' proved that an everyday person can be an action hero. If I'm even considered in that club, I'm definitely off to a great start."
