Here’s the official synopsis for Wildcat, per Aura Entertainment’s official press release:

In today’s Wildcat trailer, Kate Beckinsale’s past comes back to haunt her when a group of mercenaries kidnaps an eight-year-old girl, and the key to letting her go is a fistful of cash and Beckinsale’s head on a platter. With no choice but to spring into action, Beckinsale gets her old team together to stage an elaborate heist, pitting two crime syndicates against one another while they attempt to rescue the young girl. Their situation quickly deteriorates as things spiral out of control.
Kate Beckinsale’s latest feature is Stolen Girl, a kidnapping thriller directed by James Kent (Testament of Youth, Lost Boys & Fairies) and based on a screenplay by Kas Graham and Rebecca Pollock.
Here’s the official synopsis for Stolen Girl:
Based on extraordinary real-life events, Stolen Girl follows a determined mother, Mara (Kate Beckinsale), whose world is shattered when her ex-husband, Karim, abducts their young daughter, Amina, and flees to the Middle East. Desperate to bring her child home, Mara teams up with Robeson (Scott Eastwood), an enigmatic ex-marine and child abduction specialist. Their mission takes them to Beirut, where they’re pulled into a treacherous web of international espionage, betrayal, and corruption. As time runs out, Mara faces the hardest choice of her life—reclaiming her daughter or leaving her behind for her own safety.
