Liam Neeson, who had signalled in 2024 that he intended to retire from action films by the end of 2025 and who recently moved into comedy with the well-received The Naked Gun, is back in familiar action territory with a new thriller co-starring Bosch star Titus Welliver. The film follows a disgraced unit of former CIA operatives who travel to Iran to attempt a high-stakes rescue inside a luxury hotel, hoping to redeem themselves after an earlier mission in Afghanistan went wrong. The project marks a notable return to the Taken-style role Neeson had suggested he was leaving behind.

Developed for most of its production under the title Hotel Tehran, a reference to the film's hotel setting, the project has now reportedly been officially retitled The Fix, shifting the emphasis towards the unit's redemption arc rather than the location. The article, published by Collider on 12 July 2026, frames the change alongside what it calls a "bizarre" release date, though the piece offers little further detail beyond the retitling and premise. Much of the page is taken up by an unrelated interactive "action hero" quiz rather than additional reporting.
