What happens

Welcome to Sudden Death is a 2020 American sports action film directed by Dallas Jackson and starring Michael Jai White, Gary Owen, Michael Eklund and Marrese Crump. It is a remake of the 1995 film Sudden Death, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as a former firefighter battling hostage takers during game seven of the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup Final. Like the original, Welcome to Sudden Death is a single-location action film in the mold of Die Hard, with the conceit that the heist storyline runs parallel to, and sometimes intersects with, a sports contest. The new version transfers the action from an ice hockey to a basketball setting, and trims down the sports subplot significantly. The film was produced by Universal Studios under their Universal 1440 imprint, in partnership with Netflix. It premiered on 29 September 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
