This summer, brace yourself for an adrenaline-fueled ride when CLEANER makes its highly anticipated streaming debut exclusively on Max in the U.S. on Friday, June 13. For those tuning in on traditional cable, the film will also premiere on HBO linear on Saturday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Directed by action-thriller veteran Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, The Foreigner) and penned by Simon Uttley, CLEANER promises an intense, suspense-laden experience with a timely political edge.
Set against the sleek and stormy skyline of present-day London, CLEANER plunges viewers into a nerve-wracking hostage situation with a twist. A group of radical activists crashes an energy company’s high-profile annual gala, taking 300 hostages in a bold move to expose the firm’s deep-rooted corruption. But what begins as a principled act of civil disobedience spirals into chaos when an extremist within the group hijacks their cause, determined to kill everyone in the building to deliver his violent manifesto to the world.
Enter Daisy Ridley (Star Wars, Sometimes I Think About Dying), who trades lightsabers for squeegees in a gripping new role as an ex-soldier turned window cleaner. Suspended 50 stories above the unfolding nightmare, she becomes the last hope for the hostages inside—including her own younger brother. Ridley brings fierce intensity and grounded emotional weight to the role, offering a layered portrait of reluctant heroism under impossible pressure.
She’s joined by a stellar supporting cast, including Taz Skylar (One Piece) and Clive Owen (Children of Men), who add depth and gravitas to this sharply written, high-concept thriller.
CLEANER blends claustrophobic action with moral complexity, asking urgent questions about justice, extremism, and the costs of fighting for change. With Campbell’s signature edge-of-your-seat pacing and a compelling performance from Ridley at its heart, the film promises not just spectacle, but substance.
Don’t miss the streaming premiere on Max, Friday, June 13, or catch it on HBO, Saturday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET. CLEANER is more than a rescue mission—it’s a breathless race against time and ideology, 50 stories in the air.
