Chris Hemsworth went head-first into a world of brutal action in Extraction (2020) and delivered by doing many of his own stunts. From high-speed car chases to intense hand-to-hand combat, Hemsworth was front and center in the film's action sequences. One of the most memorable scenes in Extraction is the long one-shot action where Hemsworth has to move through dangerous, high-stakes environments, fending off attackers along the way. His martial arts and weaponry training, coupled with his physical commitment, really made the fight scenes in Extraction some of the most intense and thrilling ones on screen.
