Ep 1. Episode 1

In the premiere episode of Strike Back season 7, we find Section 20, a covert British intelligence unit, in a race against time to track down four nuclear triggers that were stolen in a daring heist in Kuala Lumpur. With the potential risk of a catastrophic nuclear attack, Sergeant Thomas “Mac” McAllister (played by Warren Brown) and Sergeant Samuel Wyatt (played by Daniel MacPherson) are deployed to investigate the situation.

As Section 20 arrives in Kuala Lumpur, they discover that they are not the only group after the nuclear triggers. A group of terrorists, led by Zarkova (played by Yasemin Kay Allen) and her right-hand man Novin (played by Alin Sumarwata), is also on the hunt. In order to get closer to the nuclear triggers, Mac and Wyatt must team up with Novin and her team, who have infiltrated the gang of thieves who stole the triggers.

As the mission unfolds, the team must navigate a complex web of double-crosses, betrayals, and unexpected turns. They confront vicious mercenaries, navigate tense political situations, and use all of their specialized skills to keep the nuclear triggers out of the hands of those who would use them for evil.

Meanwhile, back at Section 20 headquarters in Britain, Colonel Alexander Coltrane (played by Jamie Bamber) faces his own challenges. With pressure from higher-ups to wrap up the case quickly, Coltrane must balance bureaucratic demands with the need to get the job done right. He also faces internal tensions within the unit, as some of the team members question his leadership.

Throughout the episode, the action is non-stop, with thrilling gunfights, high-speed chases, and explosive set pieces. The diverse cast of characters all bring their own unique strengths to the table, making for a team that is both entertaining and capable. Although the overall mission is deadly serious, the show still manages to inject humor and humanity into its characters, making them relatable and sympathetic even in the midst of their dangerous work.

Overall, the first episode of Strike Back season 7 is a thrilling start to a new season of the show. With a complex plot, excellent action sequences, and a talented cast, it promises to be an exciting ride for fans of the show and newcomers alike.
