Eraser: Reborn is a 2022 American action thriller film, and serves as a reboot of the 1996 Eraser, and is described as the next installment in the franchise.[2] Directed by John Pogue from a script by Michael D. Weiss, the plot centers around a secret agency that specializes in engineering the fake deaths of witnesses that need to leave no trace of their existence. Starring British actor Dominic Sherwood in the lead role as U.S. Marshal Mason Pollard, the supporting cast includes Jacky Lai, McKinley Belcher III and Eddie Ramos.[3]

Plot[edit]

U.S. Marshal Mason Pollard specializes in "erasing" people – faking the deaths of high-risk witnesses. With the technological advances of the last 25 years, the game has upgraded, and it's just another day at the office when he's assigned to Rina Kimura, a crime boss' wife who's decided to turn state's evidence. As the two flee to Cape Town, South Africa, with a team of merciless assassins on their trail, Pollard discovers he's been set up. Double-crossed and fueled by adrenaline, he needs to be at the top of his game, or he'll be the one who's erased. Permanently.
