Extraction

Ciudad, the inspiration for Extraction, was set in Paraguay.

Sam Hargrave’s 2020 Netflix action-thriller, starring Chris Hemsworth as a mercenary trying to recover a kidnapped kid, is based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Andre Parks, but the screenplay, by Joe Russo, changes the location to Bangladesh.

The film is best known for a a 12-minute continuous fight scene, but it wasn’t actually shot in Bangladesh — Hargrave told us the film shot in Ahmedabad, India, where he and his team tried to fit in “every stunt possible,” Hargrave told us. Here’s how he made that 12-minute scene.

Also: Extraction 2, released last year, has a sequence that tops it.
